DOI: 10.1002/smll.202207785
Abstract: Supramolecular rather than covalent molecular engineering on Feringa motors can provide an alternative toolkit for tuning the properties of motorized materials through appropriate supramolecular structural perturbations, which are underexplored. Herein, a multicomponent supramolecular gel system… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.orglett.0c02436
Abstract: Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to explore if isotopic chirality can induce unidirectional rotary motion in molecular motors operated through double-bond photoisomerizations. Using a high-quantum yield motor featuring a chemically asymmetric carbon atom as reference,… read more here.
