Abstract
A molecular motor setup allowing to harness the trajectory of directional motor rotation for an active mechanical threading process is presented by Henry Dube et al. in their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/anie.202201882). The motor is embedded into a macrocycle and its indane-based rotor fragment then serves as “revolving door” in the light-driven–rotation. In this way a process akin to macroscopic threading of a needle is miniaturized to the molecular level offering a first entry point to mechanical molecular knitting or weaving processes.
