| Abstract: | A novel class of photoswitches based on a phenylazothiazole scaffold that undergoes reversible isomerization under visible-light irradiation is reported. The photoswitch, which comprises a thiazole heteroaryl segment directly connected to a phenyl azo chromophore, has very different spectral characteristics, such as a redshifted absorption maximum wavelength and wellseparated absorption bands of the trans and cis isomers, than conventional azobenzene and other heteroaryl azo compounds. Substituents at the ortho and para positions of the phenyl ring of the photoswitch resulted in a further shift to longer wavelengths up to 525 nm at the absorption maximum with a small thermal stability compensation. These photoswitches showed excellent photostationary distributions of the trans and cis isomers, thermal half-lives of up to 7.2 h, and excellent reductant stability. The X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed that the trans isomers exhibited a planar geometry and the cis isomers exhibited a T-shaped orthogonal geometry. Detailed ab initio calculations further demonstrated the plausible electronic transitions and isomerization energy barriers, which were consistent with the experimental observations. The fundamental design principles elucidated in this study will aid in the development of a wide variety of visible-light photoswitches for photopharmacological applications. |
