Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Molecular machines are increasingly attracting the attention of scientists and engineers, as their research and design contribute to the development of innovative materials with applications in various scientific and technological fields. (1−4) One of the most rapidly developed types of molecular machines are molecular rotors, which are characterized by their ability to perform intramolecular rotational motions.

Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! The transformation of a liquid into a glassy state due to a decrease in the temperature is reflected in liquid viscosity growth by 10 to 12 orders of magnitude. (1) This enormous increase in viscosity, in turn, is accompanied by a drastic slowdown in molecular mobility.
