Abstract

A photoactivatable self-hidden information storage material was developed based on the connection of a photo-removable protecting group of o-nitrobenzyl with a rhodamine B salicylaldehyde hydrazone Zn(II) complex photochromic system. Information could be recorded on this material by UV light and read out only by blue light with a wavelength around 450 nm, which makes it safe and covert.
