title: Redox-regulated rotary motion of a bis(9-triptycyl)-TTFV system.
abstract: A tetrathiafulvalene vinylogue (TTFV) unit was covalently linked to two benzyltriptycene molecular rotors to form a molecular gearset. Dynamic NMR studies showed that reversible redox reactions at the TTFV central unit exerted regulation over the rotational properties of the 9-triptycyl rotors.
