Olympiadane is a mechanically interlocked molecule composed of five interlocking macrocycles 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.
