This book not only provides fundamental concepts of molecular photoswitches but also supplies how the bistable photoswitches of diarylethenes modulate the functions of materials and biological activities. It systematically describes the reaction mechanism, photoswitching performance, photoswitchable crystals and diverse applications of diarylethenes based photoswitches. This book is essential to understand the molecular photoswitches and develop new photoresponsive materials.
