    Visible light-induced switching of soft matter materials properties based on thioindigo photoswitches

    Thioindigos are visible light responsive photoswitches with excellent spatial control over the conformational change between their trans- and cis- isomers. However, they possess limited solubility in all conventi...

    Two-colour light activated covalent bond formation

    We introduce a photochemical bond forming system, where two colours of light are required to trigger covalent bond formation. Specifically, we exploit a visible light cis/trans isomerization of chlorinated azoben...
