文摘Molecular conformation is crucial to its chemical reactivity,1,2 electron transport,3,4 and photophysical properties.5 However,it is very challenging to precisely control,as molecules typically switch rapidly between different conformations,which are generally considered to be in thermal equilibrium.This is especially true in multiphenyl systems,where conformational changes induced byσ-bond rotations are both complex and rapid,6,7 making it very challenging to precisely monitor and control conformational switching at thesingle-molecule level.
