Hence, the phototriggered release of memantine under illumination at 366 nm was observed. The process can be partially reverted through a thermally activated back reaction.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Spanish MINECO (grants CTQ2011-28390 and CTQ2014-54729-C2-1-P for U.P.), the Junta de Andalucia (grant P12-FQM-2140 for U.P.), the ERDF, the COST action CM1005 "Supramolecular Chemistry in Water", and the Associated Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry-Clean Processes and Technologies-LAQV.
