Recently, it was demonstrated that an array of microcantilever beams, when coated with a SAM of palindromic, bistable [3]rotaxane molecules, undergoes controllable and reversible bending when it is exposed to chemical oxidants and reductants; see: T.

36. [16] we employed the term "co-conformer" to the two states. See, especially Figure 1 in reference [16]. In other words, in proposing our original mechanism, we appreciated correctly that the ON and OFF states are both isomeric and, of course, isoelectronic.
