Key Points

The aim is to understand the excited-state dynamics and product selectivity of aza-diarylethenes under light irradiation.
Theoretically analyzed the excited-state dynamics of aza-diarylethenes.
Investigated C−N bond formation processes upon irradiation.
Reversible C−N bond formation was confirmed upon light exposure.
Different heterocyclic aryl cores resulted in varying product selectivity.

Implication

Theoretical insights elucidate product selectivity in aza-diarylethenes following light exposure, indicating important applications.

Abstract

Aza-Diarylethenes (aDAEs) are a novel class of photoswitches, which undergo reversible C−N bond formation upon irradiation. Previous experimental studies on aDAEs, differing in the heterocyclic aryl cores and substituents at...
