Ring-opening reaction of a trifluorinated indolylfulgide: mode-specific photochemistry after pre-excitation
Simone Draxler,Thomas Brust,Stephan Malkmus,Jessica A. DiGirolamo,Watson J. Lees,Wolfgang Zinth,Markus Braun +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the experimental results points to mode-specific photochemistry in that the promoting, photochemically active modes of the photoreaction are efficiently excited by the directly preceding ring-closure reaction.

All-Optical Operation Cycle on Molecular Bits with 250-GHz Clock-Rate Based on Photochromic Fulgides
Stephan Malkmus,Florian O. Koller,Simone Draxler,Tobias E. Schrader,Wolfgang J. Schreier,Thomas Brust,Jessica A. DiGirolamo,Watson J. Lees,Wolfgang Zinth,Markus Braun +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the prototype operation of an ultrafast write-readout-erase readout cycle of an all-optical system based on photochromic indolylfulgides is demonstrated.

Ultrafast dynamics and temperature effects on the quantum efficiency of the ring-opening reaction of a photochromic indolylfulgide
Thomas Brust,Simone Draxler,Stephan Malkmus,Christine Schulz,Marc Zastrow,Karola Rück-Braun,Wolfgang Zinth,Markus Braun +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ultrafast ring-opening reaction of the molecular switch 1,2-Dimethyl-3-indolylfulgide dissolved in acetonitrile was investigated by temperature dependent quantum efficiency measurements and time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and visible spectral range.

Wavelength and solvent independent photochemistry: the electrocyclic ring-closure of indolylfulgides.
Thorben Cordes,Teja T. Herzog,Teja T. Herzog,Stephan Malkmus,Stephan Malkmus,Simone Draxler,Simone Draxler,Thomas Brust,Thomas Brust,Jessica A. DiGirolamo,Watson J. Lees,Markus Braun,Markus Braun +12 more
TL;DR: The experimental study demonstrates that the ring-closure reaction of photochromic indolylfulgides can be considered as a very robust photoprocess: this fact may lead to a great variety of different applications where the reaction dynamics of the molecular switch are not disturbed by any surrounding effects.
Photochemistry with thermal versus optical excess energy: Ultrafast cycloreversion of indolylfulgides and indolylfulgimides
Thomas Brust,Stephan Malkmus,Simone Draxler,Saleh A. Ahmed,Karola Rück-Braun,Wolfgang Zinth,Markus Braun +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dependence of the pericyclic ring-opening reaction of indolylfulgides on excess energy by quantum efficiency measurements and by ultrafast spectroscopy.
