Photochromism is defined as a reversible transformation of a chemical species between two
isomers having different absorption spectra induced in one or both directions by …

Molecular systems encompassing more than one photochromic entity can be used to build
highly functional materials, thanks to their potential multi-addressability and/or multi …

In single photochromes, the two isomers that are interconverted in photoinduced reactions
can serve as on and off states in a molecular switching device. The addition of several …

Photoactive molecules that reversibly switch upon visible light irradiation are one of the most
attractive targets for biological as well as imaging applications. One possible approach to …
