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.

Abstract: Overcrowded alkene-based light-driven molecular motors are able to perform large-amplitude repetitive unidirectional rotations. Their behaviour is well understood in solution. However, Brownian motion precludes the precise positioning at the nanoscale needed to harness cooperative action.… read more here.
