There's a new motor in town! 🏎️🔬

Out in @NatureChemistry, out latest study introduces a light-driven diazene molecular rotary motor able not only to achieve directional motion, but also to invert the rotation by varying the colour of the light supplied.

After years of work, persistence, and belief in an idea that once felt impossible, we’re excited to share our concept; an approach that we believe can shift the paradigm of multiphoton microscopy.

Excited to share our latest work, “Rapid and Reversible Visible-Light-Induced Helix Inversion in Chiral Liquid Crystals Doped with a Negative Photochromic Molecule”, reported in @angew_chem.

We have succeeded to develop a binaphthyl-bridged imidazole dimer bearing alkylpyridinium groups that exhibits fast and visible-light-induced negative photochromism even in aqueous media. @ChemCommun

New Review out in @angew_chem: "Organic Spin-State Photoswitches" will tell you how to generate diradicals on demand, change spin states from singlets to triplets, in a bistable fashion. By Takuma @takumamiymura and Joël @jo_chembln, @ChemUniCologne

@Ella_Maru @J_A_C_S Thanks!

[Jiro Abe @jiro_abe]

We elucidated the photoreaction mechanism of a fast negative photochromic molecule that becomes colorless upon visible-light irradiation and rapidly regains its color once the irradiation is stopped. -now published in @J_A_C_S
