Molecular Lego has been claimed by several researchers. A publication from
Tetrahedron Letters last year comes to mind. Unfortunately, I think the
claims of Lego-like properties were far off. No doubt, it is a difficult
task, experimental chemistry is difficult, and atoms/molecules are not very
mechanical.
BTW, I guess TLG is not happy with claims of molecular Lego, they usually
try to protect the Lego name from degenerating.
