Polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) has garnered increasing attention as a metal-free
photocatalyst with a suitable band gap. In efforts to enhance its photocatalytic performance …

In recent decades, low-dimensional nanodevices have shown great potential to extend
Moore's Law. The n-type semiconductors already have several candidate materials for …

The selective photoisomerization or photocyclization of stilbene to achieve value upgrade is
of great significance in industry applications, yet it remains a challenge to accomplish both of …

Molecular photoswitches have been widely used as molecular machines in various fields
due to the small structures and simple motions generated in reversible isomerization …

A planar molecule may become chiral upon excitation of an out-of-plane vibration, changing
its handedness during half a vibrational period. When exciting such a vibration in an …

Organic ultraviolet filters (OUVFs) are extensively released into aquatic environments, where
they undergo complex phototransformation. However, there is little knowledge regarding …

In this work, we theoretically explore whether a parity-violating/chiral light–matter interaction
is required to capture all relevant aspects of chiral polaritonics or if a parity …

Chiral molecules, used in applications such as enantioselective photocatalysis, circularly
polarized light detection and emission and molecular switches,, exist in two geometrical …

The following manuscript describes 10 newly synthesised pentafluorostilbene derivatives
that are diverse in the character of the substituent attached to the second phenyl ring, as well …

Despite the numerous investigations of photoisomerization reactions from both the
computational and experimental points of view, even in complex environments, to date there …
