- Abstract
Benzil-based α-bisimines are implemented as photoswitches for the construction of a speed-regulating molecular device, in which, by application of light, three different states may be addressed, showing distinct frequencies of internal C-C bond rotation, spanning 12 orders of magnitude. Bond rotation barriers were determined experimentally and elucidated by DFT-methods.
