This research presents a light-driven rotary molecular motor with an integrated efficient photoluminescent dye. The system exhibits efficient rotary motion and bright photoluminescence, tunable by excitation wavelengths and solvents. Synergistic interactions between the motor and dye allow for lower-energy excitation and chirality transfer, offering prospects for multifunctional photoactive systems capable of both motion and location tracking.
