Unravelling the rules of molecular motion is a contemporary challenge that promises to support the development of responsive materials and is likely to enhance the understanding of functional motion. Advances in integrating light‐driven molecular motors in soft matter have led to the design and realization of chiral nematic (cholesteric) liquid crystals that can respond to light with modification of their helical pitch, and also with helix inversion. Under illumination, these chiral liquid crystals convert from one helical geometry to another. Here, a series of light‐driven molecular motors that feature a rich configurational landscape is presented, specifically which involves three stable chiral states. The succession of chiral structures involved in the motor cycle is transmitted at higher structural levels, as the cholesteric liquid crystals that are formed can interconvert between helices of opposite handedness, reversibly. In these materials, the dynamic features of the motors are thus expressed at the near‐macroscopic, functional level, into addressable colors that can be used in advanced materials for tunable optics and photonics.

Photoinduced Electron Transfer in a Porphyrin-Fullerene Dyad at a Liquid Interface
Sissaoui, Jihad; Efimov, Alexander; Kumpulainen, Tatu; Vauthey, Eric (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2022)The excited-state properties of an amphiphilic porphyrin–fullerene dyad and of its porphyrin analogue adsorbed at the dodecane/water interface are investigated by using surface second-harmonic generation. Although the ... -
Growth, single crystal investigations, Hirshfeld surface analysis, DFT studies, molecular dynamics simulations, molecular docking, physico-chemical characterization and biological activity of novel thiocyanic complex with zinc transition metal precursor
Makhlouf, Jawher; El Bakri, Youness; Valkonen, Arto; Saravanan, Kandasamy; Ahmad, Sajjad; Smirani, Wajda (Elsevier, 2022)The present work undertakes the study of novel thiocyanic complex, which have been obtained due to the interaction of cationic entities with the thiocyanate ligands. In fact, these latter are added to a transition metal ... -
Expansion and Compression of a Helicate with Central Diol-Units as Stereocontrolling Moieties
Grüninger, Saskia; Mevissen, Christian; Ward, Jas S.; Rissanen, Kari; Albrecht, Markus (Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2022)The dicatechol ester ligand 2-H4 forms the compressed helicate Li4[(2)3Ti2] which upon removal of the internally bound lithium cations expands. In the compressed form, the chiral diol units control the stereochemistry of ... -

Krupa, Justy; Kosendiak, Iwona; Wierzejewska, Maria; Ahokas, Jussi; Lundell, Jan (Elsevier, 2021)The photochemistry of matrix-isolated glycolic acid, induced by UV light, was studied by FTIR spectroscopy and B3LYPD3/6-311++G(3df,3pd) calculations. Several decomposition pathways were found to take place upon 212 nm and ... -
gmXtal : Cooking Crystals with GROMACS
Buslaev, Pavel; Groenhof, Gerrit (Springer, 2023)Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are routinely performed of biomolecules in solution, because this is their native environment. However, the structures used in such simulations are often obtained with X-ray crystallography, ...
