Abstract:Dithienylethene photoswitches with an aromatic π‐linker as the bridge between the two thiophene units are attractive starting materials for developing molecular solar thermal energy (MOST) storage systems, partly because the aromaticity of their ring‐open forms is a favorable feature with regard to the energy‐storage densities of their ring‐closed forms produced by photoinduced electrocyclization (photocyclization) reactions. At the same time, this typically leads to small barriers for their thermal cyclorever… Show more
