Abstract
Two-NIR-photon-triggered Z→E isomerization of an azobenzene was accomplished by covalently linking a two-photon-harvesting triarylamine antenna to a thermally stable ortho-fluorinated azobenzene derivative. The obtained photoswitch is fully addressable with visible and NIR light by using one-photon and two-photon excitation, respectively, with the latter offering enhanced penetration depth and improved spatial resolution.Entities:
