摘要
Spinning around: By insertion of a bifunctional ligand that acts as an axle - one end tethered to a silver surface, the other bonded to the metal center of a metalloporphyrin - an entire population of porphyrin molecules can be induced to spin. Removal of the axle quenches the motion. The switching process may be repeated an indefinite number of times. (Figure Presented). © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
