Diarylethene Molecular Photoswitches

A comprehensive review to the synthesis, properties, and applications of diarylethene-based molecular photoswitches<br> <br> Diarylethene Molecular Photoswitches: Concept and Functionalities provides the fundamental concepts of molecular photoswitches and includes information on how the bistable photoswitches of diarylethenes modulate the functions of materials and biological activities. Written by Masahiro Irie (the inventor of photochromic diarylethene compound), the book explores the reaction mechanism, photoswitching performance, photoswitchable crystals, and the myriad applications of diarylethenes based photoswitches. <br> <br> This book offe…
