A new class of bidirectionally quantitative photoswitches based on the hemithioindigo (HTI) scaffold is reported. Incorporation of a pyrrole hydrogen-bond donor leads to a bathochromic shift allowing for quantitative bidirectional isomerization. Additionally, extending conjugation from the electron-rich pyrrole results in quantitative visible-light photoswitches, as well as photoswitches that isomerize with red and near-infrared light. The presence of the hydrogen bond leading to the observed redshift is supported by computational and spectroscopic evidence.
