Research summary
Development of Novel Photofunctional Materials which Demonstrate Cooperative Responses of Multiple Molecules and Photons Cooperative responses of multiple photons and molecules are not only important for the realization of novel photoresponses beyond conventional one-photon reaction but also for the developments of novel photofunctional materials. For examples, photochromic compounds, which change their color from colorless to colored upon UV light irradiation such as sunlight, have been widely applied to industry such as ophthalmic lenses, arts, toys and so on. However, there are still also no report on a photochromic compound which are very sensitive to the intensity of sunlight. Our group aims for the development of these kinds of novel photochromic compounds, which responses are over one-photon reaction, from the view point of physical chemists.
