Photochemical Response of Electronically Reconfigurable Molecule-Based Switching Tunnel Junctions

Robust molecular devices may be based on the photo‐switching between spiropyran and merocyanine isomers (see Scheme). The equilibrium has been investigated in a Langmuir–Blodgett film and then succesfully sandwiched into a solid‐state tunnel junction.
