“… 1 − 4 Response to external stimuli can then be employed to trigger structural rearrangements, affecting the host–guest binding affinity, thus establishing control over guest uptake and release. 5 − 12 Among various stimuli (e.g., pH, 13 − 15 temperature, 16 solvent, 17 electrochemical, 18 , 19 or chemical input 20 , 21 ), light is a highly advantageous reagent, as it can be precisely administered with temporal and spatial resolution, is available from cheap LED sources, and is essentially waste-free. The light-triggered modification of structure and function of (supra)molecular systems can be achieved using dedicated photoswitches such as azobenzenes, 22 , 23 dithienylethenes, 24 , 25 other hindered alkenes, 26 , 27 indigoids, 28 and spiropiranes, 29 , 30 just to name a few.…”
