Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Single‐molecule motion capture and the manipulation of a synthetic molecular rotor are described by H. Noji et al. in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 10082 ff.</ext-link> The stepwise intramolecular rotation of a double‐decker porphyrin, a known 1 nm molecular rotor, was directly visualized with a relatively large bead probe (ca. 200 nm) by optical microscopy. With this technique, elemental properties of synthetic molecular machines that cannot be resolved by ensemble measurements can be elucidated.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh1c44bf2x" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
