Abstract

Great interest is currently devoted to molecular or supramolecular entities that have access to two or more forms, the interconversion of which can be triggered by an external stimulus.[1] Several switching systems have been reported that are based on photochromic behavior, resulting in optical control of chirality, fluorescence, intersystem crossing, electrochemically and photochemically induced changes in liquid crystals, thin films, and ...
