Reversible C=N Bond Formation Controls Charge-Separation in an Aza-Diarylethene Photoswitch

Diarylethene belong to the most eminent photoswitches and have been studied for many decades. They are found in virtually every field of applications and have become highly valuable molecular tools for instilling light-responsiveness into materials, catalysts, biological systems, or pharmacology. In this work we present a novel and distinct type... Show more
