The first example of a porous molecular crystal containing rotors is presented. The permanently porous crystal architecture is sustained by rotor-bearing molecular rods which are connected through charge-assisted hydrogen bonds. The rotors, as fast as 10(8) Hz at 240 K, are exposed to the crystalline channels, which absorb CO2 and I-2 vapors at low pressure. The rotor dynamics could be switched off and on by I-2 absorption/desorption, showing remarkable change of material dynamics by the interaction with gaseous species and suggesting the use of molecular crystals in sensing and pollutant management.
