Olympiadane is a mechanically-interlocked molecule composed of five interlocking macrocyles that resembles the Olympic rings. The molecule is a linear pentacatenane or a [5]catenane. It was synthesized and named by Fraser Stoddart and coworkers in 1994.^[1] The molecule was designed without any practical use in mind,^[2] although other catenanes may have possible application to the construction of a molecular computer.
