The synthesis, characterization, electrochemistry, photophysics and photochromic behavior of a new class of cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes [Pt(C∧N)(O∧O)] (1a–5a and 1b–5b), where C∧N is a cyclo
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
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
Rational design and synthesis of new photochromic sensors have been active research areas of inquiry, particularly on how to predict and tailor their properties and functionalities. Herein, two thuliu
