Photoresponsive supramolecular polymers are well‐organized assemblies based on highly
oriented and reversible noncovalent interactions containing photosensitive molecules as (co …

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

Room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP), which has a much longer emission lifetime
than fluorescence, often enables unique material characteristics and fabrication of state‐of …

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 …

Photoswitchable fluorophores─ proteins and synthetic dyes─ whose emission is reversibly
switched on and off upon illumination, are powerful probes for bioimaging, protein tracking …

The past decade has witnessed an explosion in the use of super-resolution fluorescence
microscopy methods in biology and other fields. Single-molecule localization microscopy …

Photochromic materials are a family of compounds which can undergo reversible photo‐
switches between two different states or isomers with remarkably different properties …

Persistent emission with a long lifetime (> 1 s) from organic materials can only be observed
at a low temperature, because of the significant nonradiative deactivation pathway that …

The property of organic light-responsive materials is determined by their electronic excited
states to a large extent, for instance, the radiative decay rate constants, redox potentials, and …

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 …
