Major developments have been seen over the past twenty years or so in molecular-scale assemblies that are capable of using photons to initiate the passage of information in a controlled manner. 1 The tenet is that molecular-based systems will find applications in the emerging field of photonics where fast optical responses are required. 2 The basic structure commonly comprises a donor–relay–acceptor motif, in which the relay acts as the conduit for passage of, for ...
