A research group has discovered that 2,5-distyrylpyrazine (DSP) crystals undergo a unique photoreaction. The group found that this phenomenon was caused by a surface effect and a cooperative effect, which make reactivity extremely high for molecules at the crystal's edge and those adjacent to molecules that have already changed color.
