Transformation of energy into motion (work) is one of the basic processes of energy
conversion in nature. The processes of actuation underlying the transduction of light …

The direct and reversible transformation of matter between the solid and liquid phases by
light at constant temperature is of great interest because of its potential applications in …

Many order–disorder-type phase transitions in molecule-based ferroelectrics are related to
changes of molecular dynamics. If the molecular motions do not involve reorientations of …

Polymers possessing helical conformation in the solid state are in high demand. We report a
helical peptide-polymer via the topochemical ene-azide cycloaddition (TEAC) …

Trans–cis photoisomerization in an azo compound containing azobenzene chromophores
and long alkyl chains leads to a photoinduced crystal-melt transition (PCMT). X-ray structure …

Topochemical reactions, high‐yielding solid‐state reactions arising from the proximal
alignment of reacting partners in the crystal lattice, do not require solvents, catalysts, and …

We describe the first application of our methodology for heterodimerization via diazene
fragmentation towards the total synthesis of (−)-calycanthidine, meso-chimonanthine, and …

Crystals undergoing tandem reactions where the first transformation enables the second
one are rare. Using photoreactive Dewar benzene 3, 4, 5, 6-tetramethyl-1, 2-dicarboxylic …

Catalyst-free photochemistry provides numerous opportunities toward sustainable synthesis
because catalyst separation can usually be avoided, which is consistent with green …
