Two molecular rotors were synthesized (see picture). An investigation of the rotator rotation based on the imaginary parts of the complex dielectric constant ( ε ′′) for each molecular rotor at various frequencies and temperatures revealed that the rotation of the mono‐component molecular rotor could be modulated through hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the rotator and the stator.
