15 Creation of Molecularly Integrated Multi-responsive …
271
Thus, “molecularly integrated multi-responsive photochromic systems” could
be synthesized through several pathways. We hope these findings can be considered milestones to advance research and lead to useful applications in the field of
photochromism.
