Science Daily  August 30, 2023 Photoswitches are molecular systems that are chemically transformed after interaction with light and they find potential application in many new technologies. The design and discovery of photoswitch candidates require intricate molecular engineering of a range of properties to optimize a candidate to a specific application. An international team of researchers (Denmark, Spain) performed a large-scale screening of approximately half a million bicyclic diene photoswitches in the context of molecular solar thermal energy storage using ab initio quantum chemical methods. They devised an efficient strategy for scoring the systems based on their predicted solar energy conversion […]
