We demonstrated the formation of a photoinduced surface relief grating using thin films comprising a photochromic molecular motor, 9-(2-phenyl-2,3- dihydro-cyclopenta[a]naphthalen-1-ylidene)-9H-fluorene. Results show that mass migration occurred by patter
Fine tuning of the rotary motion by structural modification in light-driven unidirectional molecular motors
Vicario, Javier,Walko, Martin,Meetsma, Auke,Feringa, Ben L.

The introduction of bulky substituents at the stereogenic center of light-driven second-generation molecular motors results in an acceleration of the speed of rotation. This is due to a more strained structure with elongated C=C bonds and a higher energy
