Photoswitchable triple hydrogen-bonding motif

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Jan 7;47(1):460-2. doi: 10.1039/c0cc02339f.

Abstract

Photochromic bis(thiazol-4-yl)maleimides, displaying enhanced binding affinity to complementary melamine receptors in their ring-closed switching state, have been developed and could pave the way to light-responsive supramolecular assemblies.
