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...

description 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-energy profile as a function of the ring position for the oxidized (ground) state (blue) and the reduced state (red) generated by photoexcitation.
