TL;DR: The observed photochromic and photoswitching properties of 1 are much more favorable than those for normal AB, making the title compound a promising candidate for interesting applications as a molecular photoswitch especially at low temperatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hexameric structure of a hydroxyresorc[4]arene in the solid state, enclosing a large interior space, was observed, and the tendency of aggregates in solution was demonstrated mainly by means of ESI-MS methods.

TL;DR: The structure of a molecule can change considerably as its energy and thus its electron distribution within the time-domain of dynamic relaxation varies as discussed by the authors, therefore, charge-perturbed and/or sterically overcrowded molecules can be designed.

TL;DR: In this article, the four new thiostannates [Ni(en)3]2Sn2S6 (1) (en = ethylenediamine), [Ni (dap)3], 2SnS6 · 2 H2O (2), [Co(tren)]2sn2S 6 (3) and [Ni 2S6 6 (4) (tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine) were prepared under solvothermal conditions.

TL;DR: A fully reversible and highly efficient on-off photoswitching of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast with green (500 nm) and violet-blue (435 nm) light using electron-donating substituents at the pyridine improves the LD-CISSS in two ways: better photostationary states are achieved, and intramolecular binding is enhanced.
