This was a highly challenging issue. This review Further development of these photo-switchable systems into practical applications as well as existing challenges are also discussed and put in prospect. Photochromic molecules can be loosely divided into two types: those that returnto their initial state at a rate dependent on the ambient temperature ("thermally reversible" photochromic materials), and those which are thermally stable, . In liquid crystalline systems, the molecules behave in collective fashions (cooperative manners), so the photoalignment becomes more and more effective. The distance between the two reactive Photochromism: Molecules and Systems. JFS accepts donations from around the world, by Justgiving, a secure web payment system. Inspired by their smart photo-switchable characteristics, a variety of light-driven functional materials have been exploited, such as ultrahigh-density optical data storage, molecular switches, logic gates, molecular wires, optic/electronic devices, sensors, bio-imaging and so on. Abstract: Photochromic diarylethenes (DAEs) are among the most promising molecular switching systems for future molecular electronics. Among the most important categories of photochromic molecules there are spirocompounds which can induce excellent colouration during irradiation [7–9]. The research group had already reported a super highly sensitive photochromic molecule with a 100% coloring sensitivity. UV light excitation occurs Absorption Spectra of Spirooxazine Photochromic System. In the crystal structure, the molecule, lying on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis, adopts a photoactive antiparallel conformation. However, there have been, up to now, no attempts to align the larger mesoscale structures of MPS of block copolymers driven by the photoinduced alignment of photochromic molecules.

Fast andreversible photoinduced structural changes characteristic of photochromic materials are particularly interesting as they imply the use of molecular systems for all-optical switching. The two stereo-isomers of such photochromic compounds represent the distinct states of a light-switchable digital molecular system (Fig.
