Description:

This review summarizes the trends of molecular machines that continue to evolve under the concept of nanoarchitectonics in the interfacial environment. Some recent examples of molecular machines in solution are briefly introduced first, which is followed by an overview of studies of molecular machines and similar supramolecular structures in various interfacial environments. The interfacial environments are classified into (i) solid interfaces, (ii) liquid interfaces, and (iii) various material and biological interfaces. Molecular machines are expanding their activities from the static environment of the solid interface to the more dynamic environment of the liquid interface. Molecular machines change their field of activity while maintaining their basic functions and induce the accumulation of individual molecular machines into macroscopic physical properties and, conversely, to control molecular machines through macroscopic mechanical motions. Finally, their active fields reach even at the interface of living organisms.
