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 …

During the past few decades, interest has been rapidly growing in gaining insight into the
properties and transformations of the so-called bistable compounds and molecular systems …

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 …

Taking advantages of the impressing behaviors of room‐temperature phosphorescence
(RTP), the explorations in RTP materials are not only limited to efficient emission and …

Stimuli‐responsive materials are of immense importance because of their ability to undergo
alteration of their properties in response to their environment. The properties of such …

A visible-light activatable photoacid has been studied, which upon irradiation, changes from
a weak acid, with ap K a of 7.8, to a strong acid, which achieves nearly complete proton …

The last few years have seen an explosion of interest in traditional photochromic systems
not only for their applications in variable transmission devices, which continues to attract …

The switching or isomerization speed of photochromic dyes in a rigid polymeric matrix (such
as an ophthalmic lens) is generally significantly slower than that observed in the mobile …

Highly sensitive cyanide anion detection with a coumarin –spiropyran conjugate as a fluorescent
receptor - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C1CC10467E Royal …

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