Abstract

Abstract The successful design of photochromic self-assembly systems requires understanding (on both the molecular and sub-molecular scales) of diverse and often competing structure-property relationships. Such molecular systems are promising as components for photonically switchable components in opto-electronic devices. Molecular modularisation can be an efficient approach to obtain such materials. The design, ...
