Functional approaches


      These seek to develop components of a desired functionality without regard to how they might be assembled.
  •    Molecular scale electronics seeks to develop molecules with useful electronic properties. These could then be used as single-molecule components in a nanoelectronic device. For an example see rotaxane.
  •   Synthetic chemical methods can also be used to create synthetic molecular motors, such as in a so-called nanocar.
