The state-of-the-art in the field of molecular design, synthesis, phase behaviour and
photooptical properties of photochromic liquid crystalline (LC) side chain polymers, their …

The second edition of this best-selling handbook is bigger, more comprehensive, and now
completely current. In addition to thorough updates to the discussions featured in the first …

Biological light-driven proton pumps use light to move protons across a cell membrane,
creating a proton gradient. Although photochromic compounds such as spiropyrans can …

A series of novel materials based on bi (9, 9‐diaryfluorene) s are the first examples of pure
aromatic hydrocarbons as potential UV emitters in organic light‐emitting devices (OLEDs) …

The thermal and photochemical ring opening and ring closure of the spiropyran/
merocyanine couple of three nitro-substituted spiropyrans (6-NO2: 6, 7 and 8-NO2: 8) were …

A comprehensive theoretical study of the reaction mechanisms for the conversion between
spiropyrans (SPs) and the open form of merocyanines (MCs) has been conducted by …

We report here for the first time on a reversible photodynamic bulk optode sensor based on
the photoswitching of a spiropyran derivative (Sp). The photoswitching of Sp induces a large …

The good understanding of a photochromic reaction mechanism requires the establishment
of the list of all the transient species and the definition of their connecting processes. The …

Direct photochromism is observed for the mesostructured host–photochromic guest system
reported here. Block‐copolymer/silica mesostructures were used as hosts for two …

Previous work has shown that photoisomerization of dopant molecules in a polystyrene film
can either enhance or suppress its adhesion to a polar glass surface (Mostafavi, SH …
