title: Controlled disassembling of self-assembling systems: toward artificial molecular-level devices and machines.
abstract: Investigations on self-assembling/induced-disassembling systems have led to the design of molecular-level devices capable of performing a variety of functions. Some of the work carried out in this field is illustrated.
