Stereochemistry—in both its static and dynamic variants—has progressed apace now for more than a century to incorporate all aspects of covalent, coordinative, and noncovalent bonding at levels of structure which encompass constitution, configuration, and conformation. The advent of the mechanical bond in more recent times is now providing opportunities for the emergence of new stereochemical tenets and concepts, some of which bear close analogies with those of days gone by in chemistry. Since terminology helps to define and disseminate a discipline, we advocate that the term “mechanostereochemistry” be used to describe the chemistry of molecules with mechanical bonds.

6 10.1038/nchem.266, In his Tetrahedron Prize Lecture given at the 236th American Chemical Society National Meeting in Philadelphia on 17 August 2008, one (J. F. S.) of the authors proposed the use of the term “mechanostereochemistry” to encompass all aspects of the “mechanical bond” in chemistry. The term mechanostereochemistry has been employed recently in another context. See: I. Frank, U. Friedrichs. Nat. Chem.1, 264 (2009).Search in Google Scholar

24 10.1002/anie.199720681, Previously, we had advocated (M. C. T. Fyfe, P. T. Glink, S. Menzer, J. F. Stoddart, A. J. P. White, D. J. Williams. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed.36, 2068 (1997)) the use of the term “co-conformation” to designate the different three-dimensional spatial arrangements of the components of mechanically interlocked molecules.Search in Google Scholar
25 10.1039/p19820001649, While conformational diastereoisomerism is now commonplace throughout the reaches of organic chemistry (for an example at the top end of the scale of energy barriers to interconversion, consider the trianthranilides—see: A. Hoorfar, W. D. Ollis, J. A. Price, J. S. Stephanatou, J. F. Stoddart. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 1649 (1982)), configurational diastereoisomerism dominates organic chemistry across a wide spectrum of different compound types from those where it is displayed around carbon–carbon double bonds in the cis and trans sense (e.g., the TTF unit in the structural formula in Fig. 4a, bottom) to the more conventional situations that exist as soon as two or more chiral elements coexist in the same molecule. Even epimers abound.Search in Google Scholar
