Photo-driven Molecular Wankel Engine B$_{13}^+$

Year: 2012

Type: preprint

Abstract: We report a molecular Wankel motor, the dual-ring structure B13+, driven by circularly-polarized infrared electromagnetic radiation, under which a guided uni-directional rotation of the outer ring is achieved with rotational frequency of the order of 300 MHz.
