These molecules and macromolecules are capable of advanced functions, such as information storage, mechanical actuation, mimicking the light-collection processes of natural photosynthesis, or the controlled release of therapeutic agents. The development of these chemistries also sets the stage for fundamental studies of molecular behavior in solution, in solid-state devices, and on surfaces.
