Manoeuvring individual molecules over a clean and unmodified surface is challenging, yet possible using surface sensitive techniques like Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). Electronic and vibrational excitation by means of inelastic electron tunnelling from the tip of STM has been observed to have brought out subsequent dynamical processes on surfaces. We investigate the influence of inelastic electron tunnelling on helical molecules and have observed molecular motions like hopping and rotation. First results of single molecular dynamics of these molecules at low temperatures (7K) on Cu(111) and Au(111) surfaces are presented and discussed. In addition, we present latest results on molecular machines, a topic that has been awarded the Chemistry Nobel Prize in 2016.
