Accelerated recombination of lophyl radicals and control of the surface tension with amphiphilic lophine dimers†
Abstract
We report the accelerated photoisomerization of amphiphilic lophine dimers based on the inner environments of molecular assemblies and rapid control of the interfacial properties of aqueous solution with photoirradiation. This novel photoisomerization system enables on-demand controlled release of drugs, perfumes, and other active compounds.
