Compounds containing the C=N group, such as imines and their derivatives, may undergo syn-anti. isomerization by two different routes: 1) photochemically, by out-of-plane rotation around the carbon-nitrogen double bond through a perpendicular form, and 2) thermally, by in-plane nitrogen inversion through a linear transition state. When the two interconversions occur in sequence, a full, closed process is accomplished, restoring the initial state of the system along two different steps. In a chiral imine-type compound, for example, with an asymmetric center next to the C=N function, photoinduced rotation may be expected to occur in one sense in preference to the opposite one. Thus, photoisomerization followed by thermal isomerization in a chiral imine compound generates unidirectional molecular motion. Generally, imine-type compounds represent unidirectional molecular photomotors converting light energy into mechanical motion. As they are also able to undergo exchange of the carbonyl and amine partners, they present constitutional dynamics. Thus, imine-type compounds are double dynamic, motional, and constitutional devices.
