PHOTOCHROMISM OFISO-PROPYLAMMONIUM MOLYBDATE

Invisible photochromism of diarylethene derivatives.

Diarylethene derivatives with oxidized thiophene rings shift their absorption band to a shorter wavelength in the UV region upon photocyclization; no color change was observed during the photochromic reaction, and the invisible photochromism is advantageous for devices used under room light.

The pyrochlore-type molybdate Pr1.37Ca0.63Mo2O7

Praseodymium calcium dimolybdenum hepta-oxide, Pr(1.37)Ca(0.63)Mo(2)O(7), crystallizes in the cubic pyrochlore-type structure. In the crystal structure, MoO(6) octa-hedra are linked together by common corners, forming a three-dimensional [Mo(2)O(6)] network. The Pr and Ca atoms and the remaining O atoms are located in the voids of the [Mo(2)O(6)] network. The Pr and Ca atoms are distributed sta...

The pyrochlore-type molybdate Pr2Mo1.73Sc0.27O7

Dipraseodymium molybdenum scandium hepta-oxide, Pr2Mo1.73Sc0.27O7, crystallizes in the cubic pyrochlore-type structure. In the crystal, (Mo,Sc)O6 octa-hedra are linked together by common corners, forming a three-dimensional [(Mo,Sc)2O6] framework. The Pr atom and another O atom atom are located in the voids of this framework. The Mo and the Sc atom are distributed statistically over the same 16...

Photochromism of diarylethene molecules and crystals

Photochromism is defined as a reversible transformation of a chemical species between two isomers upon photoirradiation. Although vast numbers of photochromic molecules have been so far reported, photochromic molecules which exhibit thermally irreversible photochromic reactivity are limited to a few examples. The thermal irreversibility is an indispensable property for the application of photoc...
