Tetrathiafulvalene – a redox-switchable building block to control motion in mechanically interlocked molecules

With the rise of artificial molecular machines, control of motion on the nanoscale has become a major contemporary research challenge. Tetrathiafulvalenes (TTFs) are one of the most versatile and widely used molecular redox switches to generate and control molecular motion. TTF can easily be impleme...
