We introduce a photoresist based on methacrylate copolymers bearing photochromic spirothiopyran moieties as side groups that can crosslink via supramolecular interaction between the chromophores. Upon two-photon excitation, the resist is capable of generating freestanding three-dimensional structures and offers an inhibition channel, which allows for stimulated-emission depletion-inspired laser lithography. Reversible inhibition, linewidth narrowing, and resolution enhancement are demonstrated.
