Various designs of molecular machines have been recently proposed. These designs, including molecular bearings, planetary gears and molecular pumps, were previously studied by methods of molecular mechanics. Thus, the question of chemical stability of such theoretical devices remains open. The paper presents the first quantum chemistry study of stability of diamondoid molecular machines, using Drexler–Merkle bearing as simplest but typical example. Several possible bearing failure modes are investigated, and conclusion is made that device lifetime at room temperature ($T=298$ K) exceeds $10^{10}$ s.
Keywords: nanosystems, nanobearing, semiempirical method AM1, DFT method, molecular dynamics.
