Abstract
For the past few years, we have been developing structurally simple, easy-to-synthesize, modular, and tunable hydrazone-based functional materials.¹ This presentation will highlight our recent advances with these systems, with an emphasis on the use of hydrazones in the development of negative feedback loops,² reversible multicolor liquid crystal diplays (see below),³ and anion pumps.4
