Photochromic coenzyme Q derivatives: switching redox potentials with light.
Coenzyme Q is an important redox cofactor involved in a variety of cellular processes, and is thus found in several cell compartments. We report a photochromic derivative of coenzyme Q that combines the molecular structures of the redox active cofactor and a photochromic dye. Light irradiation triggers an electronic rearrangement reversibly changing the redox potential. We used this effect to c...
متن کاملPhotochromic switching of the DNA helicity induced by azobenzene derivatives
The photochromic properties of azobenzene, involving conformational changes occurring upon interaction with light, provide an excellent tool to establish new ways of selective regulation applied to biosystems. We report here on the binding of two water-soluble 4-(phenylazo)benzoic acid derivatives (Azo-2N and Azo-3N) with double stranded DNA and demonstrate that the photoisomerization of Azo-3N...
متن کاملConduction switching of photochromic molecules.
We report a theoretical study of single molecule conduction switching of photochromic dithienylethene molecules. The light-induced intramolecular transformation drives a swapping of the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital between two distinct conjugated paths. The shuffling of single and double bonds produces a significant conductance change when the molec...

متن کاملPhotochromic coloration of WO3 with visible light
Thin amorphous films of tungsten oxide (WO3) are well known to change their optical absorption behavior upon light exposure, usually referred to as photochromic effect. Since the formation of color centers is closely related to the optical creation of electron-hole pairs the sensitivity of the photochromic effect in WO3 is limited to energies above its band-gap energy of 3.25 eV, corresponding ...
