A novel photoswitchable rotaxane was synthesised and its switching behaviour in solution was analysed with NMR and UV-Vis. A monolayer of rotaxanes was deposited on glass surfaces and the on-surface photoswitching was investigated. Angle-resolved NEXAFS spectra revealed a preferential orientation that reversibly changes upon switching.

A novel light-powered molecular shuttle was synthesized which can switch the movement of a macrocycle between two distinct stations-dipeptide and zwitterionic ME-by exploiting the photoisomerization of spiropyran. The macrocycle resides selectively in the
