Abstract

Bistable Switches Four overcrowded alkenes have been synthesized and investigated experimentally and computationally. Irradiation with UV light allowed high-yielding E–Z isomerizations providing metastable diastereoisomers. Kinetic studies on metastable 1–4 using CD and HPLC identified two pathways at high temperatures for thermal isomerization. To show the value of these overcrowded alkenes as bistable switches, photochemical switching cycles were performed, which proved the alkenes to be excellent switches. These favorable switching properties offer attractive prospects for the design of novel photoresponsive systems. For more details see the Full Paper by B. L. Feringa et al. on
