Unravelling the Shuttling Mechanism in a Photoswitchable Multicomponent Bistable Rotaxane

On the move: A computational investigation of the photo-triggered shuttling of a multicomponent bistable rotaxane in solution has shown that decomplexation of the counterions from the positively charged stations may be the efficiency-limiting step of the nanomachine. The picture shows the free-energ...
