title: Photoelectric signal conversion by combination of electron-transfer chain catalytic isomerization and photoisomerization on benzodimethyldihydropyrenes.
abstract: Photochromic benzocyclophanediene showed oxidation-triggered isomerization to form benzodimethyldihydropyrene. The isomerization proceeded via an autocatalytic reaction system, which could be combined with the photochromic nature of the molecule to establish a new photoelectric signal conversion system.
