Noncommutative Switching of Double Spiropyrans [PDF]
The spiropyran family of photochromes are key components in molecular-based responsive materials and devices, e.g., as multiphotochromes, covalently coupled dyads, triads, etc. This attention is in no small part due to the change in properties that accompany the switch between spiropyran and merocyanine forms.

Reversible low-light induced photoswitching of crowned spiropyran-DO3A complexed with gadolinium(III) ions. [PDF]
Photoswitchable spiropyran has been conjugated to the crowned ring system DO3A, which improves its solubility in dipolar and polar media and stabilizes the merocyanine isomer. Adding the lanthanide ion gadolinium(III) to the macrocyclic ring system leads
