title: Toward autonomously operating molecular machines driven by transition-metal catalyst.
abstract: A Vaska-type complex carrying a ferrocene-appended diphosphine ligand was developed as a prototype of autonomous molecular machines that is able to undergo continuous scissoring motion in the presence of diphenylphosphoryl azide and aldehyde.
