  text: 'Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a wide range of fascinating physicochemical
    properties, many of which can be controlled by modulating the NP–NP coupling.
    Controlling the self-assembly of NPs using light has traditionally been achieved
    by functionalizing their surfaces with monolayers of photoswitchable molecules,
    which can be reversibly isomerized between two or more states upon exposure to
    different wavelengths of light. NPs whose assembly can be controlled by light
    in a reversible fashion can find interesting applications. The chapter deals with
    systems comprising mixtures of non-photoswitchable NPs and small-molecule photoacids
    and photobases. Examples of light-controlled self-assembly of NPs hitherto reported
    have been categorized into six distinct approaches. These are: functionalizing
    NPs with monolayers of photoswitchable molecules, light-controlled adsorption/desorption
    of photoswitchable molecules onto NPs, and light-induced electron transfer between
    the particle''s inorganic core and the NP-bound ligands.'
