TLDR
Reaction dynamics of the photochromic systems such as spiropyran, flugide and diarylethene derivatives in femto- to nano-second time region was reviewed and mechanisms of rapid reaction channels in various phases were discussed.Abstract:
Reaction dynamics of the photochromic systems such as spiropyran, flugide and diarylethene derivatives in femto- to nano-second time region was reviewed. The mechanisms of rapid reaction channels in various phases and future prospects for photochromic systems were discussed.read more
