A series of novel nonperipherally substituted tetra-15-crown-5-dibutoxyoxanthrenocyanines (H2, Mg, Zn), acting as chameleons with the unique properties of switchable absorption and emission in the nea
Mechanochromic organic molecules (MOMs) that exhibit a large difference of fluorescence wavelength between two states have important potential applications, but few such compounds are known. Here, we
A series of novel photochromic thieno[3,2-b]phosphole oxides has been shown to demonstrate photochromism without the need for the use of high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation while maintain
A compound combining the features of a molecular rotor and a photoswitch was synthesized and was shown to exist as three diastereomers, which interconvert via a reversible cyclic reaction scheme. Each
