Photomechanical Motion of Furylfulgide Crystals
Plate-like microcrystals of a photochromic furylfulgide bend toward the light upon UV irradiation and then straighten upon visible light irradiation. The reversible bending was observed over 200 cycles of alternating irradiation with UV and visible light. The mechanism of bending could be explained by the X-ray crystallographic data.
