Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitch is a new and promising family of photochromic molecules
and has shown superior performance as a smart trigger in stimulus‐responsive materials …

Ultrafast photochemical reactions in liquids occur on similar or shorter time scales compared
to the equilibration of the optically populated excited state. This equilibration involves the …

Stepwise two-photon absorption (2PA) is one of the nonlinear photoresponses where two
photons are sequentially absorbed to proceed a photophysical or photochemical reaction …

Nucleosidic and oligonucleotidic diarylethenes (DAEs) are an emerging class of
photochromes with high application potential. However, their further development is …

Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy reveals new excited-state dynamics following
excitation of trans-azobenzene (t-Az) and several alkyl-substituted t-Az derivatives …

A novel photochromic diarylethene derivative 1o with hydrazinopyridine as a functional
