🚨📢Improving the photoswitching properties of N-alkyl imines, out now in @jacs.acspublications.org 🤔Insights from our previous work led @jiarongwu.bsky.social, Lasse and I to tune the properties of these N-alkyl systems🛠️, where we also observed isomer-dependent fluorescence!💡🔦 doi.org/10.1021/jacs...
Enhancing the Photoswitching Properties of N-Alkyl Imines
N-Alkyl imines are prevalent in dynamic-covalent chemistry and self-assembled structures, yet their E/Z photochromism is often overlooked due to the high-energy light required for isomerization. Here, we present a simple strategy to enhance their photoswitching properties, achieving switching wavelengths and photostationary state distributions comparable to azobenzene. Moreover, we demonstrate that these N-alkyl imines undergo photoisomerization in the condensed phase and exhibit isomer-dependent fluorescence. We anticipate that this study will inspire the design of photoresponsive architectures that operate directly at the dynamic-covalent bond, eliminating the need for dedicated photoswitchable motifs.

Our chemists Frank Würthner & Leander Ernst have taken artificial #photosynthesis one step further: @naturechemistry.bsky.social they present a stack of dyes very similar to the photosynthetic apparatus of plants. Congratulations!
