Wide-range IR spectra of diarylethene derivatives and their simulation using the density functional theory

Abstract Diarylethenes (DAEs), promising photochromic molecular switches, undergo pericyclic reactions upon ultraviolet or visible light illumination. For this reason, most studies on DAEs employ UV–vis spectroscopies. However, also their infrared (IR) spectra are valuable, in particular, for unders...
