‘Click’-able hemiindigo triazole photoswitches with switchable fluorescence
Zhihao Ling, Robert C. P. O’Toole, Rebecca Kerridge, Alex Buchanan, Maria Storm Thomsen, Alexander M. Wilmshurst, Roman Yu. Peshkov, Richard C. Knighton, Stefano Crespi, George T. WilliamsHemiindigos offer an ideal platform for creating light responsive materials. Herein we present triazole-hemiindigos which show reversible fluorescence and can be ‘clicked’ to a range of substrates without affecting performance.
