title: Molecular folding screen: folding and unfolding of 1,8-anthrylene-ethynylene oligomers by photochemical cycloaddition and thermal cycloreversion.
abstract: Molecular folding screens consisting of anthracene plates and acetylene linkers stereoselectively fold into a zigzag form by [4 + 4]photocycloaddition, and unfold by thermal cycloreversion.
