Diarylethene can reversibly isomerized in the solid state revealing the small geometrical difference between the structure of the ring-opened and ring-closed forms which translate into macroscopic shape change, see, S.

32. An alternative approach currently explored involves the functionalization of the "tops" of rigid cyclophanes to lift switches into the third dimension, see:, D. Bléger, D. Kreher, F. Mathevet, A.

42. Most probably the dominant pathway for energy transfers in 1 is initial Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the azobenzene donor to the terfluorene acceptor, subsequent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the terfluorene pedestal to the azobenzene moiety, followed by final charge recombination to relax to the ground state; see, S. Dufresne, I. UllielRoche, T. Skalski, W. G. Skene, J. Phys. Chem. C 2010, 114, 13106-13112.
