Abstract

Abstract: In this Minireview conceptual approaches towards the communication between (supra)molecular species are illustrated. The reviewed mechanisms include photophysical communication through energy transfer and communication mediated by chemical species that are released from precursors upon application of an external stimulus. The focus is on the stimulation by (reversible) photoreactions. Special attention has been given to supramolecular systems that illustrate the idea of chemical communication and information transfer in a very descriptive manner. Abstract : Talk to me : This Minireview highlights recently reported concepts and chemical examples in the context of chemical communication. Emphasis is given to systems that can be addressed by light. However, chemically induced communication cascades are covered as well.
