A photochromic carbazolyl-imidazolyl radical complex†
Abstract
A carbazole-incorporated photochromic radical complex is synthesized. The long-wavelength photosensitivity of the photochromic reaction of the molecule is enhanced up to ∼580 nm by substituting a triphenylamine group into the 3-position of the carbazole moiety. These photochromic reactions are investigated by subpicosecond-to-microsecond transient absorption measurements.
