Photochromism of Diarylethene Molecules and Crystals: Memories, Switches, and Actuators
TL;DR: Switches, and Actuators Masahiro Irie,*, Tuyoshi Fukaminato,‡ Kenji Matsuda, and Seiya Kobatake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic chemistry: a digital fluorescent molecular photoswitch.
TL;DR: This work uses external photostimulation to switch the fluorescence on and off from a single photochromic molecule embedded in a polymer film due to photo-isomerization of the molecule, which may eventually find application in erasable optical data-storage elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid and reversible shape changes of molecular crystals on photoirradiation
TL;DR: It is found that molecular crystals based on diarylethene chromophores exhibit rapid and reversible macroscopic changes in shape and size induced by ultraviolet and visible light and that they can move microscopic objects, making them promising materials for possible light-driven actuator applications.
