Abstract

La-[B<subscript>2</subscript>@B<subscript>18</subscript>]-La demonstrates decisive changes of the properties of molecular rotors, from multiple (here 18) equivalent individual global minimum structures to a quantum mechanical unified structure. This affects their geometries, their symmetries (18*C<subscript>2h</subscript> → D<subscript>9d</subscript>), the generation of energy bands, and high-resolution spectroscopy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
