Assemblies of photochromic molecules feature exciton states, which govern photochemical
and photophysical processes in multichromophoric systems. Understanding the …

We performed computational simulations of the photodynamics of a self-assembled
monolayer (SAM) of an azobenzene derivative (azobiphenyl, ABPT) on a gold surface. An …

Photosensitive azobenzene‐containing surfactants have attracted great attention in past
years because they offer a means to control soft‐matter transformations with light. At …

Molecular photoswitches are a promising class of molecules for the development of new
functional, light-controlled materials. In complex systems composed of multiple …

Molecular excitons play a major role within dye aggregates and hold significant potential for
(opto) electronic and photovoltaic applications. Numerous studies have documented …

Molecular exciton dynamics underlie energy and charge transfer processes in organic
multichromophoric systems. A particularly interesting class of the latter is multiphotochromic …

The development of stimuli-responsive molecular electronic devices relies on a
comprehensive understanding of the nature and strength of interactions that govern their self …

In this paper, we report on the photoisomerization process of three series of photosensitive
bent-core liquid crystals with a lateral chlorine atom in the central resorcinol core and …

Azobenzene is a prototypical molecular photoswitch, widely used to trigger a variety of
transformations at different length scales. In systems like self-assembled monolayers or …

Interaction between azobenzene‐containing molecules in supramolecular structures or self‐
assembled monolayers (SAMs) results in the formation of molecular exciton states. These …
