Molecule‐based micro‐/nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention because their
properties can vary greatly from the corresponding macro‐sized bulk systems. Recently, the …

Ferroelectrics usually exhibit temperature‐triggered structural changes, which play crucial
roles in controlling their physical properties. However, although light is very striking as a non …

Molecular materials with aggregation‐induced emission (AIE), which have been paid much
attention recently, are important for applications in optoelectronic devices, chemical sensors …

The conformational variability of π-conjugated molecules or polymers, defined by the
capacity for rotation among the connected ring moieties that comprise the structure, directly …

Photoresponsive polymers have gained specific attention because of tuning their
physicochemical properties upon induction of a certain wavelength of light. Generally, such …

N‐Salicilideneanilines are among the most studied thermo‐and photochromic systems in
the solid state. Although thermochromism is a general property of crystalline N …

Photochromic materials that undergo reversible structural transformations have been
extensively investigated on their transition mechanism and electric and optic properties …

Integration of photochromism and ferroelectricity in one material is significant for not only an
in-depth understanding of the physiochemical process but also advances in multipurpose …

The crystal structures and optical properties of (E)-2-methoxy-6-(pyridin-3-yliminomethyl)
phenol (1), a N-salicylidene-3-aminopyridine, and its 2: 1 dimorphic cocrystals with fumaric …

Polarization in ferroelectrics is generally switched by an applied external electric field. Light
is highly attractive as a noncontact and noninvasive means, but optically controlled …
