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 …

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 …

Optical microscopes, often referred to as 'light microscopes', use visible light and a system of
lenses to provide us with magnified images of small samples. Combined with highly …

This review focuses upon major achievements and recent advancements in the
development of photoactive molecules which, under controlled illumination, release acidic …

The origin of the photochromic properties of diarylethenes is a conical intersection (which
we have located computationally), but we show that dynamics calculations are necessary to …

We report a theoretical study of single molecule conduction switching of photochromic
dithienylethene molecules. The light-induced intramolecular transformation drives a …

The cyclization reaction of the photochromic diarylethene derivative 1, 2-bis (2, 4-dimethyl-5-
phenyl-3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene was studied in its single crystal phase with …

We demonstrate that a photochromic reaction can be driven by irradiation from a weak, near-
infrared continuous-wave (NIR-CW) laser light. A two-photon ring-opening photochromic …

Gated Photochromism in Triarylborane-Containing Dithienylethenes: A New Approach to a “Lock–Unlock”
System | Journal of the American Chemical Society ACS ACS Publications C&EN CAS Find …

The mechanism of the photochromic cycloreversion reactions is theoretically examined in a
model system of dithienylethenes by means of the CASSCF and CASPT2 methods. The …
