Solvation Effects on the Thermal Helix Inversion of Molecular Motors from QM/MM Calculations
Molecular motors convert light and thermal energies into mechanical work, offering good opportunities to design novel molecular devices. Among them, molecular motors alternate a photoisomerization and a thermal helix inversion to achieve unidirectional rotation. The rotational speed is limited by th...
