A five-component nanorotor with speed regulation

A five-component supramolecular nanorotor with reversibly acting brakes has been prepared from a four-component nanorotor by adding the photo- and heat-responsive 2,2'-diazastilbene as a signal transducer. The rotational speed was reversibly switched between 86 and 38 kHz.
