Potential Energy Surfaces and Quantum Yields for Photochromic Diarylethene Reactions

Photochromic diarylethenes (DAEs) are among the most promising molecular switching systems for future molecular electronics. Numerous derivatives have been synthesized recently, and experimental quantum yields (QYs) have been reported for two categories of them. Although the QY is one of the most im...
