The results show that under an EEF applied along the <i>z</i>-axis (normal to the molecular plane), the induced dipole moment of the cyclo[18]carbon molecule exhibits a significant linear relationship with the EEF strength. In contrast, under an EEF applied along the <i>x</i>-axis (parallel to the molecular plane), the linear relationship is gradually disrupted as the EEF strength increases, and the cyclo[18]carbon molecule exhibits a significantly higher response to the <i>x</i>-axis EEF than to the <i>z</i>-axis EEF. Further electronic structure analysis reveals that the high responsiveness along the <i>x</i>-axis is attributed to the high delocalization of π-electrons in the cyclo[18]carbon molecule along this direction. By decomposing the induced dipole moment into electronic displacement dipole moments and geometric configuration dipole moments, it is found that the contribution of the geometric configuration dipole moment under <i>x</i>-axis EEFs is the primary cause of the deviation of the total induced dipole moment from the linear relationship.

This dual feature─strong anchoring with intrinsic rotational freedom─makes the π-M-π motif an ideal structural unit for constructing nanoscale mechanical devices such as rotors, gears, and nanovehicles.

We then extend this strategy to larger π-systems, including graphene, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes, confirming stable binding and low rotational barriers.

These results establish the π-M-π motif as a chemically realistic and functionally versatile design unit.

The theory enables analytic computation of electric and magnetic response properties for arbitrarily complex open-shell configurations. In contrast to traditional ROHF methods, which are typically restricted to high-spin cases, the g-ROHF formulation supports general-spin couplings and orbital degeneracies while preserving the spin purity. A new set of vector-coupling coefficients is introduced that allows for the calculation of a proper spin density from a g-ROHF wave function. Analytic nuclear derivatives, along with the electric and magnetic orbital Hessians, are derived in a unified framework. Special attention is given to the treatment of SCF instabilities and the projection of unphysical modes from the response space. An efficient AO-driven implementation is described and validated across a broad range of open-shell systems, including small molecules, transition-metal complexes, and metal–radical assemblies. Specifically, the method is applied to the calculation of g-tensors and hyperfine couplings (including spin–orbit coupling corrections) in experimentally well-characterized systems such as mixed-valence manganese(III/IV) dimers and the metal–radical complex Fe(GMA)(pyridine)<sup>+</sup>. The g-ROHF framework provides a robust, efficient, and physically rigorous platform for treating the electronic structure and properties of complex open-shell molecules and serves as a convenient foundation for the development of post-Hartree–Fock correlation methods.
