Abstract
simple synthesis and visible light addressability. We find that functionalisation has substantial effects on the absorption wavelength of the motors, meanwhile the rotation speed is unaffected. Furthermore, we found that functionalisation of the oxindole molecular motors increases their quantum efficiency considerably in comparison to previous motors of their class.
