Rotating surface-mounted molecules have attracted attention of many research groups as a way to develop new nanoscale devices and materials. However, mechanisms of motion of these rotors at the single-molecule level are still not well understood. Theoretical and experimental studies on thioether molecular rotors on gold surfaces suggest that the size of the molecules, their flexibility and steric repulsions with the surface are important for dynamics of the system. A complex combination of these ...[more]
