An interwoven grid complex has been used to template the synthesis of a doubly-twisted [2]catenane (otherwise known as a  Solomon Link). The unique arrangement of interwoven ligands around the planar array of iron, zinc, or cobalt ions generated the crossing points required to covalently trap the interlocked structure using ring-closing metathesis. Building on this discovery, 2 × 2 interwoven grids were used to template the synthesis of more topologically complex molecules: a six-crossing doubly-interlocked [2]catenane and a granny knot. In 2021, the first report of a 3 × 3 interwoven grid was published. It was used to template the synthesis of a molecular Endless Knot.
