## Abstract We report the synthesis of unidirectional lightโdriven rotary molecular motors based on chiral overcrowded alkenes and their immobilisation on the surface of gold nanoparticles through two anchors. Using a combination of ^1^H and ^13^Cโ NMR, UV/Vis and CD spectroscopy, we show that these
Molecular motors are single macromolecules that generate forces at the piconewton range and nanometer scale. They convert chemical energy into mechanical work by moving along filamentous structures. In this paper, we study the velocity of two-head molecular motors in the framework of a mechanochemic
