Photochromic compounds, whose key molecular properties can be effectively modulated by
light irradiation, have attracted significant attention for their potential applications in various …

A huge variety of synthetic molecular machines and their components are developed, and
their actuation at the molecular level is demonstrated and used in microscopic molecular …

Azobenzene derivatives have long been studied for their photochromic behaviour. One of
the greatest challenges in this field is the quantitative (E) to (Z) photoconversion triggered by …

We investigated the chemical and physical properties of internally functionalized dibenzo [g,
p] chrysene (DBC) derivatives. These molecules exhibit chiral double-helicene-like …

The complex photoisomerization mechanism of the dihydropyrene (DHP) photochromic
system is revisited using spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory (SF-TD-DFT) …

Triarylamines (TAA) have low ionization potentials and are commonly used as donor units in
optoelectronic materials. On the other hand, photochromic dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP) …

Dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP) photoswitches exhibit visible light-induced ring-opening
photoisomerization, reversed by UV light or heat. These photochromic systems exhibit …

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have demonstrated enormous potential in the direct and
single-step synthesis of chemical entities with structural diversity. However, the …

Stimuli‐responsive photochromic units have emerged as one of the key components in the
development of multi‐responsive switches, optoelectronics, biomedical sciences and many …

The activation of anticancer molecules with visible light constitutes an elegant strategy to
target tumors and to improve the selectivity of treatments. In this context, we report here a …
