Frontispiece: Harnessing the Magic Methyl Effect: Manipulating Photoluminescence and Photochromism of Salicylaldehyde Benzoylhydrazones in the Solid State
Abstract
In the Research Article (e23608), Meixia He, Quan Li, and co-workers show how the photophysical properties of salicylaldehyde benzoylhydrazones can be effectively tuned between excitation-dependent emission and photochromism through magic methylation. This work demonstrates a universal molecular engineering strategy that provides valuable insights for future research on photoswitches.
