  • Investigating rotational dynamics via hydrogen bonding and metal coordination (Pd(II)).

    • Main Results:

    • Successful design and synthesis of two new molecular turnstiles.
    • Characterization of the stator (5-(4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin), hinge (Sn(IV)), and rotor (2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide or its Pd(II) complex).
    • Demonstrated switching between open (free rotation) and closed (blocked rotation) states.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed molecular turnstiles exhibit controllable rotation.
    • Switching is achieved through specific intermolecular interactions like hydrogen bonding and metal coordination.
    • These systems represent a significant advancement in the field of molecular machinery.
