2′,6′-Disubstituted N-benzoylated carbazole derivatives were found to exhibit atropisomerism. The bulky substituents restricted rotation about the N-C7′ and C7′-C1′ bonds to separate four atropisomers, in which rotation about the C7′-C1′ bond was in perfect concert with rotation about the N-C7′ bond. Complete geared rotation without slippage at 37 C for 7 days was observed for the first time. Conformational analysis clarified the preference for the gear system over other internal conversion pathways.
