Combined Photopolymerization and Localized Photochromism Generation by Aza-Diarylethene and Hemiindigo Synergy

Molecular photoswitches produce light-controlled changes at the nanometer scale and can therefore be used to alter states and behavior of materials in a truly bottom-up fashion. Here we show an escalating photonic complexity of material property control with light using a recently developed aza-diarylethene in combination with hemiindigo (HI) photoswitches.... Show more
