Basic enemies of photochromism: irreversible transformation of fluorinated diarylethenes to polyenic enamines and enols

Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2020, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D0PP00292E, CommunicationThomas Huhn, Dmytro Sysoiev A non-photochemical degradation of perfluorinated photochromic diarylethenes (DAE) under Knoevenagel, Sonogashira or Wittig conditions, was discovered. This base promoted formation of strongly colored non-photochromic byproducts has impact in the field... The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry
