A simple strategy to overcome concentration dependence of photoswitching properties in donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts

Photoswitchable donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) have been reported to exhibit an undesirable concentration dependence, where photoswitching is greatly inhibited with increasing photochrome concentration. Here we show that the use of piperazine-based donor moieties eliminates this concentration dependence and results in complete, rapid and reversible photoswitching behaviour for first generation DASAs, even in chlorinated solvents. Structural data and computational studies reveal proton transfer during isomerisation to the terminal amine rather than the donor amine. The improvement in photoswitching efficiency is attributed to resultant differences in supramolecular association.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
