Photoswitching Using Visible Light: A New Class of Organic Photochromic Molecules

Published Web Location

https://doi.org/10.1021/ja503016b
Abstract

A versatile new class of organic photochromic molecules that offers an unprecedented combination of physical properties including tunable photoswitching using visible light, excellent fatigue resistance, and large polarity changes is described. These unique features offer significant opportunities in diverse fields ranging from biosensors to targeted delivery systems while also allowing non-experts ready synthetic access to these materials.
