Biological and technical machines usually do only function due to the interplay of archetypically different components. As a consequence, nature has developed ATP synthase, kinesin and related complex systems on the basis of supramolecular heterocomponent aggregates. However, different from their biomolecular archetypes almost all molecular machines or devices in the chemical world have been developed on the basis of covalently or topologically linked building blocks. Capitalizing on latest achievements from our group with regard to multicomponent nanorotors we want to raise their mechanical and chemical properties to a new emergent level of functionality with each additional component. A final goal of this work is to utilize the nanomechanical aspects of rotation purposefully for catalytic processes, to evaluate correlated rotation, and to run multicomponent machinery in out-of-equilibrium conditions. This research should therefore open new perspectives for the chemistry of rotating systems.

生物和技术机器通常只起作用，因为典型的不同部件相互作用。因此，自然界在超分子异质组分聚集体的基础上发展了ATP合成酶、动蛋白和相关的复杂系统。然而，与它们的生物分子原型不同的是，化学世界中几乎所有的分子机器或装置都是在共价或拓扑连接的基础上发展起来的。利用我们团队在多组分纳米转子方面的最新成果，我们希望通过每增加一个组件，将它们的机械和化学性能提高到一个新的新的功能水平。这项工作的最终目标是有目的地将旋转的纳米机械方面用于催化过程，评估相关的旋转，并在不平衡的条件下运行多组分机器。因此，这项研究应该会为旋转系统的化学开辟新的视角。
