Photoisomerization provides a clean and efficient way of reversibly altering physical properties of chemical systems and injecting energy into them. These effects have been applied in development of systems such as photoresponsive materials, molecular motors, and photoactivated drugs. Typically, switching from more to less stable isomer(s) is performed by irradiation with UV or visible light, while the reverse process proceeds thermally or by irradiation using another wavelength. In this work we ...[more]
