Abstract
The motion of single molecules plays an important role in nanoscale engineering and holds great potential for bottom-up construction of complex devices at single molecular scale. In this chapter we review the recent progress on molecular rotors. We mainly focus on the motions of molecules at solid surfaces based on the most recent results obtained by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Several approaches to illustrate how the surface-supported molecular motor systems work are discussed. These results demonstrate solid advances in the field of molecular-based nanotechnology.
