Green light triggered [2+2] cycloaddition of halochromic styrylquinoxaline—controlling photoreactivity by pH

Light gated reactions are important due to their spatial and temporal control over the chemical processes but long wavelength activation of photocycloaddition reactions are rare. Here the authors introduce a green light induced [2+2] cycloaddition of a halochromic system, which allows for its photo-...
