Converting Second-Order Saddle Points to Transition States: New Principles for the Design of 4π Photoswitches. [PDF]
ChemphyschemThis study shows that limitations in cyclability and optical properties of electrocyclic photoswitches arise from difficulty in controlling competition between Woodward‐Hoffmann allowed and forbidden pathways. The present approach goes beyond the traditional view of activation barriers, revealing that second‐order saddle points are the key to ...
