摘要

Abstract

In the past two decades

the research and development of light-triggered molecular machines have mainly focused on developing molecular devices at the nanoscale. A key scientific issue in the field is how to amplify the controlled motion of molecules at the nanoscale along multiple length scales

such as the mesoscopic or the macroscopic scale

or in a more practical perspective

how to convert molecular motion into changes of properties of a macroscopic material. Light-driven molecular motors are able to perform repetitive unidirectional rotation upon irradiation

which offers unique opportunities for responsive macroscopic systems. With several reviews that focus on the design

synthesis and operation of the motors at the nanoscale

photo-responsive macroscopic materials based on light-driven molecular motors have not been comprehensively summarized. In the present review

we first discuss the strategy of confining absolute molecular rotation into relative rotation by grafting motors on surfaces. Secondly

examples of self-assemble motors in supramolecular polymers with high internal order are illustrated. Moreover

we will focus on building of motors in a covalently linked system such as polymeric gels and polymeric liquid crystals to generate complex responsive functions. Finally

a perspective toward future developments and opportunities is given. This review helps us getting a more and more clear picture and understanding on how complex movement can be programmed in light-responsive systems and how man-made adaptive materials can be invented

which can serve as an important guideline for further design of complex and advanced responsive materials.
