Light offers unique opportunities for controlling the activity of materials and biosystems with
high spatiotemporal resolution. Molecular photoswitches are chromophores that undergo …

Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitches, known for their reversible photoinduced cyclization and
cycloreversion reactions, have shown great promise in various fields such as optical data …

Light is a nearly ideal stimulus for molecular systems. It delivers information encoded in the
form of wavelengths and their intensities with high precision in space and time. Light is a …

Polymers have become one of the largest and most important materials we use in daily life.
Their popularity has stemmed from their wide range of material properties combined with …

Controlling cooperativity, synchronization, amplification and translation of intermolecular
and intramolecular dynamics over different length scales for applications in stimuli …

A heteroleptic [Pd2L2L'2] 4+ coordination cage containing a photoswitchable azobenzene-
derived ligand catalyzes the Michael addition reaction between methyl vinyl ketone and …

Here, we report the introduction of internally catalyzed amide bonds to obtain covalent
adaptable polyamide networks that rely on the dissociation equilibrium between …

In the quest for sustainable development, degradable polymers are attractive alternatives to
traditional fossil-based plastics. As monocomponent degradable polymers often suffer from …

In this contribution, we install an azobenzene functionality in olefin polymerization catalysts
and use light to modulate their properties via photoinduced trans–cis isomerization of the …

Synthetic polymer chemistry endeavors to imitate the spatial and temporal control exhibited
within biological systems to obtain well-defined polymeric materials with unique structures …
