Photoelectric Signal Conversion by Combination of Electron-Transfer Chain Catalytic Isomerization and Photoisomerization on Benzodimethyldihydropyrenes

Photochromic benzocyclophanediene showed oxidation-triggered isomerization to form benzodimethyldihydropyrene. The isomerization proceeded via an autocatalytic reaction system, which could be combined with the photochromic nature of the molecule to establish a new photoelectric signal conversion system
