Switching at the nanoscale: chiroptical molecular switches and motors.: Section Title: Optical, Electron, and Mass Spectroscopy and Other Related Properties

摘要

A review on the recent developments in the field of chiroptical switches and nanomotors. Topics discussed include switching of mol. state, azobenzene-based chiroptical photoswitching, electrochiroptical switching, diarylethene-based chiroptical switches, mol. switching with circularly polarized light, diastereomeric photochromic switches, chiroptical switching of luminescence, switching of supramol. organization and assemblies, mol. motors, chiral mol. machines, and making nanoscale machines work.
