Surface charge inversion of self-assembled monolayers by visible light irradiation: cargo loading and release by photoreactionsElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Details of experiments and supporting figures. See DOI: 10.1039/c3cc39081k

In this study, we find that visible light can trigger both the loading and the release of N -alkyl substituted 4-picolinium on self-assembled monolayers (SAM). The latter process will result in surface-charge inversion of the SAM, which can be used for controlled release of molecules of interest. Vi...
