Rotaxane monomeric unit

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010437",
  "term": "Rotaxane monomeric unit",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The smallest constitutional unit of a macromolecular rotaxane that is derived from a rotaxane monomer and is repeated along the polymer chain. This unit retains the mechanically interlocked architecture of the original rotaxane monomer. It forms the basis for the repeating structure of a rotaxane polymer.",
