Control of Surface Wettability Using Tripodal Light-Activated Molecular Motors

摘要

Monolayers of fluorinated light-driven molecular motors were synthesized and immobilized on gold films in an altitudinal orientation via tripodal stators. In this design the functionalized molecular motors are not interfering and preserve their rotary function on gold. The wettability of the. self-assembled monolayers can be modulated by UV irradiation.
