A catenane is a type of molecular structure consisting of two or more interlocked rings, similar to links in a chain. These ring-shaped molecules are connected mechanically rather than covalently, meaning that the rings won't dissociate easily without breaking chemical bonds. Catenanes are a subclass of complex molecules in the field of supramolecular chemistry and have garnered interest for their unique properties and potential applications.
