Initially, we investigated the results obtained by surrounding the model motor with LJ particles, which act like a fluid. The motor model, described in the previous section, was placed in a simulation box of 20 𝜎 × 20 𝜎 × 20 𝜎, with periodic boundary conditions. LJ particles were included in this simulation box with a density of 0.34 𝜌, which at 1.0 𝑇 * behave as a liquid. Simulations where the motor remains fixed, by virtue of a consistent dihedral potential, and where the motor rotates unidirectionally were performed and system properties sampled over 4 million steps (equivalent to 20 × 10 g 𝜏). The trajectories show constant temperatures but when the potential is switched there is a spike in total energy, associated with the drastic increase in potential energy of the system. This high energy state quickly subsides as motor rotates to the new stable configuration. These simulations demonstrate that the global dynamics of the fluid show no changes resulting from rotation of the motor. In particular, the structure of the fluid, determined by the radial distribution function, and the dynamics of the fluid, revealed by mean-squared displacement, remain unaffected (Fig. , Supporting Information). Given the size of the molecular rotor is equivalent to the size of the fluid particles this is perhaps not surprising. To completely understand the effect of artificial molecular rotation in this system the local properties of the rotor and fluid were investigated. As displayed in Fig. , the rotation produces a lower density of fluid in a spherical area directly surrounding the centre of the rotor (particle B). This local defect in the structure is attributed to the constant reorganisation of the fluid due to rotation.
