The '''mechanical bond''' is a type of [[chemical bond]] found in [[mechanically-interlocked molecular architectures]] such as [[catenane]]s and [[rotaxane]]s. Unlike classical molecular structures, interlocked molecules consist of two or more separate components which are not connected by chemical (i.e. covalent) bonds. These structures are true molecules and not a [[supramolecular]] species, as each component is intrinsically linked to the other – resulting in a mechanical bond which prevents dissociation without cleavage of one or more covalent bonds. “Mechanical bond” is a relatively new term and at this point has limited usage in chemical literature relative to more well established bonds, such as covalent, hydrogen, or ionic bonds. |
