Spiropyrans have played a pivotal role in the emergence of the field of chromism following
their discovery in the early 20th century, with almost ubiquitous use in materials applications …

Hemithioindigo (HTI) is an emerging photoswitch with many advantageous properties
compared to the commonly used photoswitches like azobenzenes, spiropyranes, or …

Just as atoms exchange electrons to form molecular orbitals, an electromagnetic field can
interact with a quantum system by the exchange of photons. When this interaction is strong …

We investigate the effect of pulling point location on the mechanochemical activation of two
isomers of spiropyran in cross-linked polymeric materials through computational …

Self-assembly of a cis-blocked Pd (II) 90° ditopic acceptor [cis-(tmeda) Pd (NO3) 2](M) with a
tetradentate donor L 1 [benzene-1, 4-di (4-terpyridine)] in 2: 1 molar ratio yielded two …

The dramatically different DNA-binding properties of the two isomeric forms of a
photochromic spiropyran have been demonstrated, enabling photoswitched DNA binding …

Coherent multidimensional electronic spectroscopy can be employed to unravel various
channels in molecular chemical reactions. This approach is thus not limited to analysis of …

We report on bidirectional photochemical switching of 6, 8-dinitro-1′, 3′, 3′-
trimethylspiro [2 H-1-benzopyran-2, 2′-indoline](6, 8-dinitro-BIPS) between the ring-closed …

The thermal and photochemical processes associated with the acid-induced conversions of
6-nitroBIPS, SP-1, to form the protonated merocyanine (MC− OH+) were investigated via …

Modern concepts of mechanisms of thermal and photochemical rearrangements responsible
for the photochromic properties of spiropyrans, spirooxazines, spiroperimidines and metal …
