Higher-Temperature Dielectric Molecular Motor Induced by Unusual Chair-to-Rotator Motion
2019
With regard to the artificial molecular motor that was recognized with the 2016 Nobel Prize, this success proves the great scientific significance of rotary motor-type motion at the molecular level, which has been expected to play an invaluable role in the development of electronic information molecular materials. However, designing electronic information-critical high-temperature molecular motors has always been a huge challenge. Since we discovered [(CH3)3NCH2Cl]MnCl3, this cation rotation pattern with a motor-type motion structure has continued to attract our attention. Considering a strategy that combines molecular machines with dielectric theory, (N,N-dimethylpiperidinium)CdCl3, the new dielectric molecular motor material that exhibits superior physical properties, could be considered to be an excellent dielectric switch based on its electric field and temperature. Crystal structure analyses reveal that the reversible phase transition is mainly induced by the unusual chair-to-rotator motion of cation...
