Among bistable photochromic molecules, diarylethenes (DAEs) possess the distinct feature that upon photoisomerization they undergo a large modulation of their pelectronic system, accompanied by a marked shift of the HOMO/LUMO energies and hence oxidation/
Highly flexible π-expanded cyclooctatetraenes: Cyclic thiazole tetramers with head-to-tail connection

Flipping fast: Head-to-tail cyclic thiazole tetramers representing flexible π-expanded cyclooctatetraenes were designed and synthesized (see picture). The presence of fused thiazole rings in a head-to-tail arrangement leads to a strong columnar stacking of the shallow saddle-shaped π-conjugated molecules, an unusually low inversion barrier of 6.8kcal mol-1, and reduction-induced complete planarization to an aromatic ring system.
