Abstract:
Molecular arrangement comprising a movable molecule (1) which is surrounded by a molecular cage-like arrangement (2) fixed on a surface (3), whereby said movable molecule (1) is in a mobilized state (6) which is characterized in that said movable molecule (1) is decoupled from said cage-like arrangement (2) in that it is out of registry with the van-der-Waals lattice of said molecular cage-like arrangement (2) and said movable molecule (1) is further decoupled from said surface (3) in that it is not physisorbed or chemisorbed thereon and that said movable molecule (1) shows an energy barrier for rotational movement equal or lower than kT, k being the Boltzmann constant, T being the absolute ambient temperature.
