The system is made up of a light-powered electron source, an electron drain, and a cable as the molecular components programmed to self-assemble by means of two distinct plug/socket junctions. Such connections are reversible and can be operated independently by orthogonal chemical inputs. In the source-connector-drain supermolecule, photoinduced electron transfer from source to drain occurs, and it can be switched off by dual-mode chemically controlled disassembling of the molecular components.Reserva de todos los derechosElectron transferLuminescenceMolecular devicePhotochemistrySupramolecular chemistryQUIMICA ORGANICAArtículo10.1073/pnas.0606459103AbiertoPMC1693678
