title: Synthesis of a nanocar with an angled chassis. Toward circling movement.
abstract: Nanocars with an angled chassis have been synthesized and imaged using scanning tunneling microscopy. These angled chassis nanocars were designed to further our understanding of the directional control and surface-rolling capabilities of this class of nanomachines. The alkylated carbazole inner core might enable the molecular scaffold to produce circular rolling motions of the nanovehicles on surfaces.
