Tuning-up and driving a redox-active rotor

Abstract

The dynamic bistable rotational behaviour of a copper(I) coordination environment can be rationally tuned with balancing the substituent size on the rotor. Such rotors are sensitive to weak interactions, and the rotation was driven by a redox reaction on a ferrocenyl moiety via reconstruction of the charge interaction between redox centres.
