Using light intensity to control reaction kinetics and reversibility in photomechanical crystals
Abstract
The chemical and mechanical recovery rates of crystalline 4-fluoro-9-anthracenecarboxylic acid, a thermally reversible photomechanical material, can be controlled by both the intensity of the photodimerization pulse and the use of a weak hold beam.
