Journal ArticleDOI
A Molecular Elevator
TL;DR: This molecular elevator is considerably more complex and better organized than previously reported artificial molecular machines and exhibits a clear-cut on-off reversible behavior, and it could develop forces up to around 200 piconewtons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-powered autonomous and directional molecular motion of a dissipative self-assembling system
TL;DR: The relative unidirectional transit of a non-symmetric molecular axle through a macrocycle powered solely by light is reported, epitomizes the conceptual and practical elements forming the basis of autonomous light-powered directed motion with a minimalist molecular design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photo- and Redox-Driven Artificial Molecular Motors
TL;DR: The evolution of the field of photo- and redox-driven artificial molecular motors is described, and a comprehensive review of the work published in the past 5 years is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operating Molecular Elevators

TL;DR: Inspired by the concept of multivalency in living systems, two mechanically interlocked molecules have been conceived that incorporate not once or twice but thrice the features of a pH-switchable [2]rotaxane with two orthogonal recognition sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrochemical properties of CdSe and CdTe quantum dots
TL;DR: The results of electrochemical studies carried out on CdSe and CdTe core and core-shell semiconductor nanocrystals of spherical shape are discussed and examples of emerging or potential applications that exploit electroactive quantum dot-based systems are illustrated.
