Abstract

Gentlemen, start your engines! A starter system for the smallest molecular motor known so far, B ₁₃ ⁺, has been prepared. An external laser field of circular polarized light with a tuned frequency is used to trigger the rotation of the inner and outer rings of the planar π-aromatic double-ring system (see picture). Can this idea be transferred to other systems in nanotechnology?
