Towards the development of photoresponsive molecular assemblies

Thesis

The emergence of complex, carefully designed, molecular architectures incorporating either a lanthanide ion or the porphyrinic macrocycle have stimulated significant interest of late, particularly in the fields of molecular switches, molecular machines and data storage systems. The integration of these emissive species has been shown to permit the analysis of conformational, coordinative, or electronic change, and employed, in the case of the porphyrinic macrocycle, to acquire a deeper unders...
