N2 - Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) of all shapes and sizes are available to Chemists, driving forward progress across a broad range of research areas. Yet, some classes of MIMs remain relatively elusive. This Review summarises the properties of multiply threaded rotaxanes and the methods that have been developed to prepare them, outlining some of the pitfalls and solutions that have been uncovered along the way.
