以铸币金属吸附偶氮苯为典型分子开关进行了研究。结果表明，开关能力不仅由于激发态猝灭而丧失，而且已经由于基态能级的变化而丧失。建议将需要电子的共吸附体作为恢复开关功能的策略。
Coinage metal adsorbed azobenzene is investigated as prototypical molecular switch. It is shown that switching capabilities are not just lost due to excited state quenching, but already due to changes in the ground state energetics. Electron demanding coadsorbates are suggested as strategy to regain the switching function.
