Schematic representation of the unidirectional rotation of 1 (as viewed along the rotation axis) and two full four-stage 360° rotary cycles followed by CD spectroscopy. The change in CD intensity (mdeg) at 290 nm (solid line) and 320 nm (dashed) at each photochemical (h
>280 nm and h = 365 nm) and thermal (
353K) isomerization step is shown.
