The back cover displays the futuristic application of molecular motors within an all‐optical circuitry. On page 3324, Jacqueline M. Cole and Sven O. Sylvester demonstrate photochromic molecular transduction via an SO2 photo‐isomerisation that drives molecular rotation in a neighbouring benzene ring. Image created using OLEX2 and Persistence of Vision Raytracer software.
A photoinduced solid‐state SO2 isomerism drives a larger mechanical change (benzene‐ring rotation) in a neighbouring ion (i.e., the system acts as a solar‐powered molecular transducer). The ring rotation and SO2 photoisomerisation are observed using in situ X‐ray crystallography and are controllable, reproducible, and metastable at low temperatures. This discovery presents a new range of materials...
