These are models of two types of molecular machines: they are composed of interlinked molecules that can rotate in relation to each other. The model with two interlinked rings represents two catenane molecules. The model with a ring on an axle represents a rotaxane molecule. The colours represent different electric charges. These determine the motion of the different parts can move in relation to one another. Fraser Stoddart used the models to explain his research results. The models were made at Sheffield University, and Stoddart has had them with him throughout his career at various universities.
Fraser Stoddart donated the models to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2016. - Pristagare
