Digital Photoswitching of Fluorescence Based on the Photochromism of Diarylethene Derivatives at a Single-Molecule Level

Photochromic reactions of diarylethene derivatives were detected at a single-molecule level by using a fluorescence technique. Fluorescent photoswitching molecules in which photochromic diarylethene and fluorescent bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene units are linked through an adamantyl spacer were synthe... View More
