Design of Photochromic Crown Compounds and Their Applications to Photoswitchable Ion-Conducting Materials

Kimura K, Tokuhisa H, Kaneshige M, Yamashita T, Yokoyama M

Crowned spirobenzopyran and spironaphthoxazine have been designed which are capable of modulating their cation-binding ability by photoisomerization. They have been successfully applied as a key compound for photoswitchable ion-conducting composite films.
