Artificial molecular motors hold great promise for application in responsive functional materials as well as to control the properties of biohybrid systems. Herein a strategy is reported to modulate the rotation of light-driven molecular motors. That is, the rotary speed of a molecular motor, functionalized with a biphenol moiety, could be decreased in situ by non-covalent substrate binding, as was established by H NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. These findings constitute an important step in the development of multi-responsive molecular machinery.
人工分子马达在响应性功能材料以及控制生物杂交系统的性质方面具有广阔的应用前景。本文报道了一种调节光驱动分子马达旋转的策略。也就是说，通过非共价底物结合，可原位降低用双酚部分功能化的分子马达的旋转速度，这已通过1H NMR和紫外/可见光谱得以证实。这些发现是多响应分子机器发展中的重要一步。
