Can a synthetic thread act as an electrochemically switchable molecular device?
Copyright policy )Can a synthetic thread act as an electrochemically switchable molecular device?
Here we report that at room temperature in acetonitrile after the reduction of the naphthalimide-site, a synthetic molecular thread undergoes a complete conformational change which makes possible an efficient conversion of chemical energy into mechanical work; such results point out the ability of the thread to act as a molecular device under electrochemical control.
