Abstract

In this communication, a novel photochromic molecular switch DTE-2(Azo-CN) containing both dithienylethene and push–pull azo chromophores was synthesized. The push–pull azo chromophores can significantly accelerate the ring opening of the C–C bond of DTE closed isomer when irradiated with light far away from the maximum absorption band of the DTE closed isomer.
