Thermal conversion from metastable (Sa)-2M to stable (Ra)-2S via pathways A (top, purple) and B (bottom, orange). For all intermediates, a schematic top view of the molecule along the central double bond axis of the motor is shown. For all transition states, the energy barriers are quoted in kJ mol–1. The rate-determining ring flip in the upper half is indicated with rds.
