Photomechanical Structures Based on Porous Alumina Templates Filled with 9-Methylanthracene Nanowires

9-Methylanthracene (<b>9MA</b>) undergoes a concerted [4 + 4] photodimerization in its crystal form that can be harnessed in order to generate photomechanical motions such as bending, twisting, and expansion. As described in this paper, <b>9MA</b> nanowires were grown in anod...
