1. A rotaxane compound comprising:
one or more cyclic molecules and an axial molecule penetrating through inner holes of the cyclic molecules and having cap structures disposed lest the cyclic molecules should be detached,
wherein:
one of the cyclic molecule or the axial molecule has one of a functional group being capable of reacting with silica or a functional group being capable of reacting with a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond, and the other one of the cyclic molecule or the axial molecule has the other one of the functional group being capable of reacting with silica or the functional group being capable of reacting with a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond,
the cyclic molecule is a crown ether cyclic molecule represented by the following formula (1a), (1b), or (1c):

OG Complex Work Unit Chemistry
wherein:
W4 is a single bond, or a spacer composed of 1 to 100 atoms and having one or more constituent units selected from the group consisting of linear or branched alkylene chain, —CO—O—, —O—CO—, —O—, —CO—, —S—, —CS—, —NH— and —NR1—, where R1 is an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a benzene ring, a heteroaromatic ring, a saturated or partially unsaturated hydrocarbon ring, or a saturated or partially unsaturated hetero ring;
R3 is a functional group capable of reacting with silica or a functional group being capable of reacting with a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond;
the crown ether represented by formula (1a), (1b), or (1c) may be substituted with the same or different 1 to 4 groups independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, alkyl, and alkoxy; and 1 to 3 of oxygen atoms constituting the ring may be replaced by NH or S, and if there are plural cyclic molecules in the rotaxane compound, the cyclic molecules may be the same or different;
the axial molecule is an axial molecule represented by the following formula (3):

OG Complex Work Unit Chemistry
wherein:

W1 and W2 are independently a single bond, or a spacer being composed of 1 to 100 atoms and having one or more constituent unit selected from the group consisting of linear or branched alkylene chain, —CO—O—, —O—CO—, —O—, —CO—, —S—, —CS—, —NH—, and —NR1— where R1 is an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a benzene ring, a heteroaromatic ring, a saturated or partially unsaturated hydrocarbon ring, or a saturated or partially unsaturated hetero ring;
at least either one of B1 or B2 is substituted with —W3—R2, where:
W3 is a single bond, or a spacer being composed of 1 to 100 atoms and having one or more constituent unit selected from the group consisting of linear or branched alkylene chain, —CO—O—, —O—CO—, —O—, —CO—, —S—, —CS—, —NH—, and —NR1—, where R1 is an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a benzene ring, a heteroaromatic ring, a saturated or partially unsaturated hydrocarbon ring, or a saturated or partially unsaturated hetero ring;
R2 is the functional group being capable of reacting with silica or the functional group being capable of reacting with a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond;
