Abstract

<p>In this account, we describe our achievements in the field of technomimetic synthetic nanovehicles from the first synthetic nanovehicle, a wheelbarrow with two wheels, to the nanocar which qualified for the 2nd Nanocar Race. The architecture of these nanovehicles is based on a polyaromatic or phorphyrinic chassis with ethynyltriptycenyl moiety used as wheels. The rigid and planar chassis also provides us with a potential cargo platform able to transport atoms or small molecules on surfaces.</p>
