Abstract: We report bistable indole-containing hemithioindigos (HTIs) with one-way quantitative photoswitching properties. Supported by state-averaged CASPT2/CASSCF calculations, we propose a mechanism for the observed one-way photoswitching that involves an isomer-specific excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT).… read more here.
