    Synthesis and Photostability of Unimolecular Submersible Nanomachines: Toward Single-Molecule Tracking in Solution
    (American Chemical Society, 2016) García-López, Víctor; Jeffet, Jonathan; Kuwahara, Shunsuke; Martí, Angel A.; Ebenstein, Yuval; Tour, James M.; NanoCarbon Center
    The synthesis and photophysical properties of a series of photostable unimolecular submersible nanomachines (USNs) are reported as a first step toward the analysis of their trajectories in solution. The USNs have a light-driven rotatory motor for propulsion in solution and photostable cy5-COT fluorophores for their tracking. These cy5-COT fluorophores are found to provide an almost 2-fold increase in photostability compared to the previous USN versions and do not affect the rotation of the motor.
