| Abstract |
We report the synthesis and surface attachment of an ultrafast light-driven rotary molecular motor. Transient absorption spectroscopy revealed that the half-life of the rate determining thermal step of the rotary cycle in solution is 38 ± 1 ns, the shortest yet observed, making this the fastest molecular motor reported. Incorporation of acetylene legs into the structure allowed the motors to be grafted to azide-modified quartz and silicon substrates using the "click" 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 18. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 April 2023.
All research outputs
#1,778,392
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences
#48
of 1,591 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#21,536
of 311,002 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences
#2
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,591 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 311,002 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
