A molecular gyroscope consisting of a 1,4-diethynylphenylene rotator linked to trityl and triptycyl groups (3) showed significantly improved physical properties and faster rotational dynamics than analogous symmetric bis(trityl) (1) or bis(triptycyl) (2)

Samples of 1,4-bis(3,3,3-triphenylpropynyl)benzene 3 were prepared by Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling of 3,3,3-triphenylpropyne (1) and 1,4-diiodobenzene. The structure of compound 3 is such that the central phenylene can play the role of a gyroscope wheel, whil
