Chirality Is Electronically Switchable

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Daniel S. Burgess

A copper-based molecule with electronically switchable optical properties promises improved display technologies and application as a switch in molecular electronics. The complex changes its apparent chirality when an electron is added or removed from its structure, causing it to strongly polarize light in almost perfectly opposite ways. James W. Canary, a professor at New York University and lead researcher, explained that chirality describes the inability to superimpose variant geometries of structures, such as these otherwise chemically identical copper molecules. In this case, the...Read full article
