Photochromism is defined as a reversible transformation of a chemical species between two
isomers having different absorption spectra induced in one or both directions by …

The use of single molecules in electronics represents the next limit of miniaturisation of
electronic devices, which would enable us to continue the trend of aggressive downscaling …

Organic photochromic materials have received considerable attention because of their
potential for photonic applications, especially for fast and high density data storage. In 2000 …

Heterocycles are an extraordinarily important class of compounds, making up more than half
of all known organic compounds. Heterocycles are present in a wide variety of drugs, most …

Digital electronics is so widely used in everyday life that it is almost impossible to find an
electric device that does not make use of digital electronic components. On average, 85% of …

Photochromic compounds reversibly change not only the absorption spectra but also their
geometrical and electronic structures. The molecular structure changes induce physical …

Multifunctional carbon-based nanomaterials offer routes towards the realization of smart and
high-performing (opto) electronic (nano) devices, sensors and logic gates. Meanwhile …

This tutorial review illustrates how work on the reversible interconversion between the
colorless and colored forms of photochromic compounds can be exploited to modulate …

Almost two decades after the outstanding X-ray crystallographic studies of light-harvesting
antenna complex LH2 of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas acidophila, a …

Abstract 2, 1, 3‐Benzothiadiazole (BTD) is one of the most important nuclei used in the
chemistry of photoluminescent compounds and applicable for light technology. The …
