Abstract
A direct external input energy source (e.g., light, chemical reaction, redox potential, etc.) is compulsory to supply energy to rotary motors for accomplishing rotation around the axis. The stator leads the direction of rotation, and a sustainable rotation requires two mutual input energy supplies (e.g., light and heat, light and pH or metal ion, etc.); however, there are some exceptions (e.g., covalent single bond rotors and/or motors). On the contrary, our experiment suggested that double ratchet rotary motors (DRMs) can harvest power from available thermal noise, kT, for sustainable rotation around the axis. Under a scanning tunneling microscope, we have imaged live thermal noise movement as a dynamic orbital density and resolved the density diagram up to the second derivative. A second input energy can synchronize multiple rotors to afford a measurable output. Therefore, we hypothesized that rotation control in a DRM must be evolved from an orbital-level information transport channel between the two coupled rotors but was not limited to the second input energy. A DRM comprises a Brownian rotor and a power stroke rotor coupled to a -C≡C- stator, where the transport of information through coupled orbitals between the two rotors is termed the vibrational information flow chain (VIFC). We test this hypothesis by studying the DRM's density functional theory calculation and variable-temperature 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. Additionally, we introduced inbuilt pawl-like functional moieties into a DRM to create different electronic environments by changing proton intercalation interactions, which gated information processing through the VIFC. The results show the VIFC can critically impact the motor's noise harvesting, resulting in variable rotational motions in DRMs.

Abstract
Since the first preparation of triptycene, great progress has been made with respect to its synthesis and the understanding of its properties. Interest in triptycene-based systems is intense; in recent years, advances in the synthetic methodology and properties of new triptycenes have been reported by researchers from various fields of science. Here, an account of these new developments is given and placed in reference to earlier pivotal works that underpin the field. First, we discuss new approaches to the synthesis of new triptycenes. Progress in the regioselective synthesis of sterically demanding systems is discussed. The application of triptycenes in catalysis is also presented. Next, progress in the understanding of the relations between triptycene structures and their properties is discussed. The unique properties of triptycenes in the liquid and solid states are elaborated. Unique interactions, which involve triptycene molecular scaffolds, are presented. Molecular interactions within a triptycene unit, as well as between triptycenes or triptycenes and other molecules, are also evaluated. In particular, the summary of the synthesis and useful features will be helpful to researchers who are using triptycenes as building blocks in the chemical and materials sciences.

Abstract
The performance of tunable emissions in aggregates is highly desirable but challenging owing to the restricted molecular conformations of luminogens. Herein, we designed and synthesized a new "flexible" luminogen, a carborane-cored compound NAPH, which exhibits variable photophysical behaviours in aggregates, such as aggregation-induced emission, crystallization-induced emission, polymorph-dependent emission, and mechanochromic luminescence. Moreover, the two polymorphs with different emission colors show opposite mechano-responsive luminescence, which is rarely observed for single-component luminescent materials. Both theoretical calculations and photophysical experiments reveal that the carborane-cored luminogen could afford variable conformations. This endows the whole molecule with multiple conformations in aggregates, thus leading to variable emission behaviours. Therefore, the present work provides new access to the construction of multifunctional single-component solid-state luminescent materials.

Abstract
The development of molecular machines has long been a dream of scientists and is expected to revolutionize many aspects of technology and medicine. As the prerequisite of a practicable molecular machine, studies on the solid-state molecular motion (SSMM) are not only of scientific importance but also practically useful. Herein, two nonconjugated molecules, 1,2-diphenylethane (s-DPE) and 1,2-bis(2,4,5-trimethylphenyl)ethane (s-DPE-TM), are synthesized, and their SSMM is investigated. Experimental and calculation results reveal that s-DPE and s-DPE-TM are capable of performing light-driven SSMM to form excited-state through-space complexes (ESTSC). The radiative decay of ESTSC generates an unexpected visible emission termed clusteroluminescence, which serves as a tool to visualize the process of SSMM. Meanwhile, the original packing structure can be recovered from ESTSC after the removal of light irradiation. This work provides a new strategy to manipulate and "see" the SSMM and gains new insights into clusteroluminescence.

Abstract
Nonconjugated hydrocarbons, like bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, triptycene, and cubane are a unique class of rigid linkers. Due to their similarity in size and shape they are useful mimics of classic benzene moieties in drugs, so-called bioisosteres. Moreover, they also fulfill an important role in material sciences as linear linkers, in order to arrange various functionalities in a defined spatial manner. In this Review article, recent developments and usages of these special, rectilinear systems are discussed. Furthermore, we focus on covalently linked, nonconjugated linear arrangements and discuss the physical and chemical properties and differences of individual linkers, as well as their application in material and medicinal sciences.

Abstract
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.
