Abstract

Abstract : The energy storage cycle of the molecular solar thermal (MOST) system has been investigated. In particular, upon irradiation, the energy‐lean 2‐carbethoxy‐3‐phenyl‐norbornadiene is converted into its energy‐rich quadricyclane isomer. The energy‐releasing back reaction can be triggered thermally by means of a suitable catalyst surface. The differences in the energy landscapes is visualized by sea level and mountains.
