Sound and noisy light: Optical control of phonons in photoswitchable structures [PDF]

, 2015
We present a means of controlling phonons via optical tuning. Taking as a model an array of photoresponsive materials (photoswitches) embedded in a matrix, we numerically analyze the vibrational response of an array of bistable harmonic oscillators with ...

Borylated norbornadiene derivatives: Synthesis and application in Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2022
The photochromic norbornadiene/quadricyclane system is among the most promising candidates for molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage. As in this context there is still the need for new tailor-made derivatives, borylated norbornadienes were ...

Efficient light-induced phase transitions in halogen-bonded liquid crystals [PDF]

, 2016
Here, we present a new family of light-responsive, fluorinated supramolecular liquid crystals (LCs) showing efficient and reversible light-induced LC-to-isotropic phase transitions.

Taking up the quest for novel molecular solar thermal systems: Pros and cons of storing energy with cubane and cubadiene

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023
Molecular solar thermal (MOST) systems are working their way as a possible technology to store solar light and release it when necessary. Such systems could, in principle, constitute a solution to the energy storage problem characteristic of solar cells ...

Optical Switches for Lipid Membranes: Computed Molecular Projection Area as a Switch Selection Criterion

Colloids and Interfaces, 2022
Optical switches in lipid membranes are an emerging tool to tune the properties of the bilayer or membrane protein integrated therein. Here, we use simple geometry and physics considerations to deduce structural criteria to design efficient ...

Optical Control of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]

, 2013
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of membrane signaling proteins, respond to neurotransmitters, hormones and small environmental molecules. The neuronal function of many GPCRs has been difficult to resolve because of an inability to

Switching Quantum Interference in Phenoxyquinone Single Molecule Junction with Light

Nanomaterials, 2020
Quantum interference (QI) can lead to large variations in single molecule conductance. However, controlling QI using external stimuli is challenging. The molecular structure of phenoxyquinone can be tuned reversibly using light stimulus.
