Abstract

The use of light to interconvert chemical structures between two isomeric forms has matured into an exciting field. It has the potential to impact a wide range of applications from optoelectronics to photorelease because it offers a convenient means to modulate the way materials absorb, emit, and rotate light, or the way they accept and transport charge.[1] Only recently have some research groups refocused their efforts to apply the concepts of ...
