“…The ability of photoswitchable molecules to address two distinct isomers of the same molecule by the non-invasive stimulus "light" opens numerous areas of potential application, including, but not limited to, chemical sensing, 1,2 smart materials, [3][4][5] data storage, 6 logic gates, 7 photopharmacology, [8][9][10][11] and life-like motion. 12 With the broad scope of potential applications arises the need for a wide variety of chemically stable photoswitches with distinct propertiessuch as excitation wavelength, the photostationary state (PSS) under irradiation and under ambient conditions, and thermal half-life τ1 2 .…”
