The sulfur-based template of light-driven molecular shuttles is able to modulate its catalytic activity in a diastereoselective chalcogeno-Baylis–Hillman reaction.
The synthesis of a ditopic interlocked building-block and its self-assembly into cyclic dimer is reported herein. Starting from thread with two recognition sites, three-component clipping reaction was carried out to construct bistable [2]rotaxane. A subsequent Suzuki cross-coupling allowed the connection second ring that rotaxane, affording self-complementary system. NMR studies were identify hetero[4]pseudorotaxane as main supramolecular structure in solution. Its assembly result positive...
Nanocars are carbon-based single-molecules with a precise design that facilitates their atomic-scale control on surface. The rational of these molecules is important in atomic and molecular-scale manipulation to advance the development molecular machines, as well for better understanding self-assembly, diffusion desorption processes. Here, we introduce construction collection minimalistic nanocars. They feature an anthracene chassis four benzene derivatives wheels. After sublimation...
Determining microscopic reversibility during the operation of synthetic devices is crucial for a fundamental understanding thermodynamic and kinetic aspects that rule their operation. Here, we used optical tweezers to measure transition paths individual molecular shuttles oscillating between two different equilibrating co-conformations under application mechanical force. We experimentally confirm transition-path times equilibrium show symmetry, as derived from principle reversibility....
A minimalistic hydrocarbon nanocar was synthesized, deposited on a Au(111) surface, and driven by STM tip thanks to electrostatic interactions. This nanomachine able win the Nanocar Race II championship, as reported Jonas Björk, Emilio M. Pérez, David Écija et al. in their Research Article (e202212395).
