Abstract

Topologically nontrivial knots are fascinating entities on the macroscopic and molecular level. Due to their esthetic and practical properties, knots have been extensively investigated in different scientific fields ranging from mathematics, biology, and materials. On a molecular scale, chemists promoted the beauty of these structures by developing various synthetic approaches for the preparation and characterization of knots in a laboratory set-up. This chapter stresses on the fundamental properties of molecular knots and their potential use in real applications.
