Reversible chromism of spiropyran in the cavity of a flexible coordination cage
Under confinement, molecular switches lose the conformational freedom often needed to isomerize. Here, the authors show that a flexible coordination cage can adapt its shape to guide the photoisomerization of encapsulated spiropyrans, rendering them reversibly photochromic even within the confines o...

| Sumario: | Under confinement, molecular switches lose the conformational freedom often needed to isomerize. Here, the authors show that a flexible coordination cage can adapt its shape to guide the photoisomerization of encapsulated spiropyrans, rendering them reversibly photochromic even within the confines of the cavity. |
