Abstract

Multiphotochromic systems are of immense importance for promising applications nowadays, while it remains a formidable challenge to develop a compound containing various photoswitches with spectral complementarity. Herein, we describe a novel multiphotochromic system based on a first generation donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) and an aurone, in which all physicochemical properties of two photoswitches are preserved and four isomers are selectively reachable with three different wavelengths of light sources (365 nm, 430 nm, 585 nm) and a thermal relaxation process in an orthogonal manner. Multi-addressable behavior of the system could be beneficial for potential applications such as logic devices and photo-printing.
