The interaction between two TEMPO spin centers connected to a photoswitchable overcrowded alkene changes from noncoupled (three-line EPR spectrum) in the trans state, where the two spin centers are separated by ∼22 Å, to strongly coupled (five-line EPR spectrum) in the cis state, where the separation is ∼7 Å, upon photoswitching. Importantly, the performance of the alkene switching unit is essentially unaffected by the spin centers.
