Modulating the Photoisomerization of N,C-Chelate Organoboranes with Triplet Acceptors

Abstract

Triplet acceptors such as naphthalene, pyrene, and anthracene have been found to be highly effective in controlling the photoisomerization efficiency of N,C-chelate boryl chromophores, establishing the involvement of a photoactive triplet state in the isomerization of this class of photochromic compounds
