(Chemical Equation Presented) We disclose the synthesis of a porphyrin-fullerene pinwheel that was subsequently observed by scanning tunneling microscopy. The molecule was designed to further our understanding of fullerene-surface interactions, directional control, and surface-rolling versus pivoting capabilities of this class of nanomachines. The inner porphyrin provides the square planar configuration that might lead to realization of the pinwheel spiraling motion on surfaces.

A series of fullerene-terminated oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s (OPEs) (1a-d and 2) have been synthesized and further characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The key step in the syntheses is an effective one-pot reaction that allow
