  The intensive development of nanodevices acting as two-state systems has
motivated the search for nanoscale molecular structures whose long-term
conformational dynamics are similar to the dynamics of bistable mechanical
systems such as Euler arches and Duffing oscillators. Collective synchrony in
bistable dynamics of molecular-sized systems has attracted immense attention as
a potential pathway to amplify the output signals of molecular nanodevices.
Recently, pyridin-furan oligomers of helical shape that are a few nanometers in
size and exhibit bistable dynamics similar to a Duffing oscillator have been
identified through molecular dynamics simulations. In this article, we present
the case of dynamical synchronization of these bistable systems. We show that
two pyridine-furan springs connected by a rigid oligomeric bridge spontaneously
synchronize vibrations and stochastic resonance enhances the synchronization
effect.
