Using this approach we demonstrate a new means to tuning DASA based photoswitches by increasing the energy of the closed form relative to the open form. To highlight the potential of this approach a new DASA derivative bearing a methyl substituent on the 5-position of the triene was synthesized and the effect of this substitution was studied using 1H NMR spectroscopy, time-dependent UV-Vis and solvatochromic analysis. The new DASA derivative shows a higher dark equillibrium, favoring the open form, and drastically faster thermal recovery than the unsubstituted derivative with the same donor and acceptor."}],"intvolume":"        58","day":"17","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","issue":"14","extern":"1","date_created":"2026-05-06T10:59:03Z","publication_status":"published","article_type":"original","publication":"Chemical Communications","quality_controlled":"1","citation":{"ieee":"J.
