From the Synthesis of Nanovehicles to Participation in the First Nanocar Race—View from the French Team
Résumé
This review article presents our accomplished work on the synthesis of molecular triptycene
wheels and their introduction into nanovehicles such as wheelbarrows and nanocars, equipped with
two and four wheels, respectively. The architecture of nanovehicles is based on polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, which provide a potential cargo zone. Our strategy allowed us to obtain planar or
curved nanocars, exhibiting different mobilities on metallic surfaces. Our curved nanocar participated
in the first nanocar race organized in Toulouse (France) on 28 and 29 April 2017.
