Chem. Eng. J. contribution on wavelength dependent kinetics for reversible material design
Together with Queensland University of Technology a generic photokinetic framework has been developed to predict concentration variations for anthracene dimerization and cleavage at any wavelength. Such chemistry is relevant for photoresponsive dynamic materials. The results have been published in Chemical Engineering Journal (SCI-IF 2019: 10.652).
The involved LCT coauthors are Anastasia Kislyak, Paul H.M. Van Steenberge and Dagmar R. D’hooge
