摘要
Molecular systems that exhibit controlled or coordinated rotary motion are discussed in this chapter. These systems represent a reproduction of a variety of macroscopic mechanical devices on the molecular scale. From gears to a motor, passing through a turnstile, a brake and a ratchet, we describe their design, synthesis and dynamic behavior. The importance of molecular motors in the biological realm and possible applications in nanotechnology are also discussed.
