Abstract
To examine the impact of metal chelation on cis–transolefin bond isomerization and the photo-stability of N,C-chelate photochromic boron compounds, a new π-conjugated molecule B-BPY that incorporates a 2,2′-bipy unit, two olefin bonds, and two BMes2(ppy) chromophores has been synthesized and found to stabilize the molecule toward olefin photoisomerization upon binding with a metal ion.Keywords
