摘要
Directed motion at the nanoscale is a central attribute of life, and chemically driven motor proteins are nature’s choice to accomplish it. Motivated and inspired by such bionanodevices, in the past few decades chemists have developed artificial prototypes of molecular motors, namely, multicomponent synthetic species that exhibit directionally controlled, stimuli-induced movements of their parts. In this context, photonic and redox stimuli represent highly appealing modes of activation, particularly from a technological viewpoint. Here we describe the evolution of the field of photo- and redox-driven artificial molecular motors, and we provide a comprehensive review of the work published in the past 5 years. After an analysis of the general principles that govern controlled and directed movement at the molecular scale, we describe the fundamental photochemical and redox processes that can enable its realization. The main classes of light- and redox-driven molecular motors are illustrated, with a particular fo

纳米级的定向运动是生命的中心属性，化学驱动的运动蛋白是实现生命的自然选择。在过去几十年中，受到这种仿生装置的激励和启发，化学家们开发了分子马达的人工原型，即多组分合成物种，这些物种表现出方向性受控的，刺激性的零件运动。在这种情况下，光子和氧化还原刺激代表了非常有吸引力的激活方式，尤其是从技术角度而言。在这里，我们描述了光驱动和氧化还原驱动的人工分子马达领域的发展，并对过去5年发表的工作进行了全面回顾。在分析了在分子尺度上控制受控和定向运动的一般原理后，我们描述了可以实现其的基本光化学和氧化还原过程。举例说明了光驱动和氧化还原驱动的分子马达的主要类别，其中包括
