Nonlinear Optical Molecular Switches for Alkali Ion Identification

Nonlinear Optical Molecular Switches for Alkali Ion Identification

This work demonstrates by means of DFT and ab initio calculations that recognition of alkali cations can be achieved by probing the variations of the second-order nonlinear optical properties along the commutation process in spiropyran/merocyanine systems. Due to the ability of the merocyanine isome...
