摘要

In recent years, molecular switches have attracted considerable interest because they hold great promises as molecular electronic and photonic devices. In contrast to commonplace switches that turn electric appliances on and off, molecular switches enable the storage of information on a molecular level, and their application in nanotech-nology, biomedicine, and computer chip design opens up whole new horizons. Usually, molecular switches are addressed by an electrical field, a scanning tunneling microscope tip, or a chemical or electrochemical reaction to specifically switch the physical properties between two states (1-3). Alternatively, molecules might be switched optically between two stable forms, and quite an effort has been put into the synthesis of reversibly photo-switchable fulgides and diarylethenes (4). A photoswitch exhibits two stable and selectively addressable states, a fluorescent and a nonf luorescent, which can be conveyed into another in a reversible fashion upon irradiation with different wavelengths of light. Although highly reproducible optical switching of individual chromophores could be achieved in liquid helium temperature experiments (5), the synthetic approach based on a photo-switchable diarylethene derivative was crowned with success only recently (6, 7). Very recently (8, 9), it was demonstrated that even conventional unmodified carbo-cyanine derivatives such as Cy5 can function as efficient reversible single-molecule photoswitches.
