▎ 摘　　要

We report a route to noncovalently latch dipolar molecules on graphene to create stable chromophore/graphene hybrids where molecular transformation can be used as an additional handle to reversibly modulate doping while retaining high mobilities. A light switchable azobenzene chromophore was tethered to the surface of graphene via pi-pi interactions, leading to p-doping of graphene with an hole concentration of similar to 5 x 10(12) cm(-2). As the molecules switch reversibly from trans to cis form the dipole moment changes, and hence the extent of doping, resulting in the modulation of hole concentration up to similar to 18% by alternative illumination of UV and white light. Light-driven conductance modulation and control experiments under vacuum clearly attribute the doping modulation to molecular transformations in the organic molecules. With improved sensitivities these "light-gated" transistors open up new ways to enable optical interconnects.
