提出了基于视紫红质发色团的新开关系列。这些新型光电开关满足实际应用中高效开关所需的大部分功能。该合成路线简单且通用，并且能够掺入能够充当锚定点的取代基。此外，替换还可用于微调开关的属性。通过使用与复杂环境兼容的低能量光可以轻松达到光稳态。热复位允许这些开关通过开/关周期进行操作。
A new family of switches based on a rhodopsin chromophore is presented. These new photoswitches fulfil most of the required features for an efficient switch to be used in practical applications. The synthetic route is simple and versatile and enables substituents capable of acting as anchoring points to be incorporated. Also, substitution can be used to fine tune the switches' properties. The photostationary state can be reached easily by using low-energy light compatible with complex environments. Thermal reset allows these switches to operate through on/off cycles.
