Brownian Photomotors Based on Organic Compounds: A Review

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

The main prerequisites necessary for the construction of molecular motors, in particular, organic compound-based light-driven motors, are considered and universal requirements for their operation are formulated. Various types of Brownian motors differing in the forms of directed motion are analyzed. Development prospects and molecular design strategies are provided for such nanodevices.
