Thiosemicarbazones as versatile photoswitches with light-controllable supramolecular activity
Bengi Sentürk, Burkhard Butschke, Fabian Eisenreich
Abstract
intramolecular hydrogen bonding, confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis, and transforms thiosemicarbazones into bistable P-type photoswitches. Additionally, thiosemicarbazones dimerize or form aggregates through hydrogen bonding-a process that can be turned off or on with light. Overall, thiosemicarbazones offer tunable photochromic and supramolecular properties, rendering them a promising photoswitch for creating stimuli-responsive systems.
