Abstract The research of the molecular machine has attracted many chemists because of its potential application value in information storage. The molecular abacus with two different fluorescences (codes), which is a rotaxane employing two different luminophores as the stoppers and a cyclodextrin ring as the abacus ring, can be introduced to perform shuttling motion between two different recognition sites in response to external optical stimuli.

摘 要 分子机器在信息存储上有重大应用价值。笔者设计了以环糊精为“算盘珠”的双荧光波长识别的有机分子“算盘”，使其在外界光刺激下能在两个位置状态间运动，且运动前后与两种荧光相对应，为其在分子存储器及其分子逻辑门上的应用打下基础。
