Latest Patents
Vincent Lemieux holds a patent for "Photochromic and electrochromic compounds and synthesis and use thereof." This patent describes photochromic and electrochromic hexadiene compounds that can reversibly convert between ring-open and ring-closed isomeric forms. The conversion between these forms can be induced by light or electricity. The compounds include a charge transfer moiety with electron donor and acceptor groups, which are linearly conjugated in the ring-open form to enable electron transfer. However, they are electrically insulated in the ring-closed form. The synthesis of these photoresponsive compounds can be achieved through various methods, including reacting diene precursors with dienophiles in a condensation reaction. These compounds have potential applications in reactivity-gated photochromic or electrochromic technologies.
