Abstract
A novel library of tunable negative photochromic compounds, donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs), is reported. Tailoring the electron deficient "acceptor" moiety yielded DASAs that can be activated with mild visible and far red light. The effect of acceptor composition on reactivity, absorption, equilibrium, and cyclability is exploited for the design of high performance photoswitches. The structural changes to the carbon acid acceptor also provide access to new, more structurally diverse DASA derivatives by facilitating the ring-opening reaction with electron deficient amine donors.
