isomer. Kinetic studies of both motor and rotor functions of the two new compounds are given, using 1H NMR, 2D-EXSY NMR, and UV–vis spectroscopy. In addition, we present the development of a new method for introducing a range of aryl substituents at the α-carbon of precursors for molecular motors. The present study shows how the molecular system can be photochemically switched between a state of free rotor
