It takes three: The key functionalities of an optical transistor, gating and amplification, are demonstrated exploiting the photophysical properties of a molecular triad (see picture). Two building blocks of the triad are highly efficient fluorophores, whereas the third building block is a photochromic molecule that can be reversibly interconverted between two bistable forms by light.
Photochromism of Diarylethenes Linked by Hydrogen Bonds in the Single-Crystalline Phase
Yamamoto, Satoshi,Matsuda, Kenji,Irie, Masahiro
, p. 4878 - 4886 (2007/10/03)
Photochromic diarylethenes, which bear carboxyl groups at the ortho, meta, or para positions of both terminal phenyl groups, have been synthesized. The diarylethenes adopt linear chain structures as a result of hydrogen bonding in the crystalline phase, a
