Abstract

A new class of triarylhydrazone photoswitches has been designed, following an idea to control the strength of a hydrogen bond connecting the photo-active hydrazone part with a heteroaryl substituent. Introducing a benzothiazole moiety results in high thermal stability, absorption above 365 nm, and satisfactory photoconversion rates. High-quality calculations and advanced ultrafast spectroscopy allowed the nature of the electronic transitions to be resolved and the photoisomerization mechanism to be elucidated.
