Development of photo-functionalized molecule
We have been studying on development of novel photochromic compounds for molecular photomemory and molecular photoswitch. The photoswitch includes molecular recognition, supramolecular formation and molecular assembly. We design and synthesize photo-functionalized molecules.


Photochromic Reaction

Development of highly functionalized photochromic molecule for molecular photomemory
