Calculated assemblies and measured evolution of the substrate work function. a Representative snapshot of the calculated dynamic evolution of the spiropyran (SP) assembly. b Self-assembly of the merocyanine (MC) isomer. The positively charged region is lifted up. c Evolution of the work function of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite as a consequence of the isomerization of the photochromic assembly experimentally measured by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. Such evolution of the work function can be fully explained on the basis of the (average) orientation of the vertical dipoles
