Switching Reactivity With Light: C─P Bonding Controls Singlet Oxygen Generation and Reactivity in Dimethyldihydropyrene‐Cyclophanediene (DHP‐CPD) Photoswitches

The dimethyldihydropyrene photochromic system is a 14π-electronic framework that switches to a less-aromatic, nonplanar system under visible light. In this work, we unravel a neutral phosphorus heteroatom-appended dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP) photoswitchable system that acts as a...
