| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to reveal the movement of double-decker complexes by directly "seeing" the rotational motion immobilized on surfaces. Unequivocal evidence of molecular rotation was obtained when we used a double-decker complex which has no rotational symmetry with one ferrocenyl substituent. By counting the number of molecules that have changed the orientation, we succeeded in obtaining the rates of ration on a surface for the first time.
