Chem Commun (Camb). 2004 Jan 21:(2):200-1. doi: 10.1039/b312170d. Epub 2003 Dec 5.

Abstract

A modified version of the first generation unidirectional molecular motor showed >99% stereoselectivity in photo-induced isomerizations in both directions, thus functioning as a perfect chiroptical molecular switch.
