Optical control of the photo- and electrochemiluminescence of a brightly fluorescent reporter group is possible by switching between the photochromic units of dyads 1a and 1b. Irradiation, that is, writing in information, with UV light converts the highly luminescent dihydroazulene 1a into the weakly emissive vinylheptafulvene 1b. Readout of the system can be performed by either electrochemically generated or photogenerated luminescence. (Chemical Equation Presented)
