Abstract In this study, the core and periphery of B 13 + cluster have been unveiled by employing a novel approach—Reduced Electron Density Analysis adaptive natural density partitioning (AdNDP) Orbitals—to explore its rotor action. The central cluster, acting as “control unit”, governs transformation between ground state (GS) transition (TS). Core–peripheral electron separation alongside AdNDP analysis has revealed how shifts within dictate cluster's structural transitions. For first time, reduced orbitals provides clearer visualization core's subtle rotational movements, offering an unprecedented look at mechanism behind GS‐TS interconversion. iso‐surface plots highlight influence three atoms, particularly one in GS two atoms TS, which serve “master atoms” guiding transformation. This work introduces new methodology for investigating nanoscale transformations, laying groundwork future research controlling nanomotors designing advanced materials.
