Molecular Switches
Photochromic Molecular Switches
Introduction
1. A molecular switch can be reversibly
shifted between two or more stable
states.
2. The structure of the molecules may be
shifted between the states in response
to changes in light wave properties.
3. Photochromic pigments change their
"color" that absorption spectra in
response to light.
4. Example.

Photochrome lens in sunglasses


Photochromic Molecular Switches
When napthopyran molecules are exposed to UV light, their structure changes
reversibly.

detection of CN and Hg ions

1. Cyanohydrin are used for the


detection of Mercury and Cyanide
ions

2. Cyanohydrin act as a reversible


sensor for the detection of Hg2+
ions through metal-assisted

Photochromic Molecular Switches
Summary
1. Photochromic molecules change their
color in response to a light wave.
2. Most common application of
photochromic switches is the use of
photochromic lens in eye glasses.
3. Different organic molecules display
chromogenic changes on display to
