Popis: We report photochromic donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) capable of fully reversible photoisomerization with visible light in organic solvents including chloroform, acetonitrile and benzene. The rates of photoisomerization and thermal reversion can be tuned by altering the electronics of the donor adduct. X-Ray crystallography and photo-NMR experiments unambiguously establish molecular structures.
