  text: DFT calculations were used to find an optimal substitution site on the triene
    backbone of a donor–acceptor Stenhouse adduct photoswitch to tune the equillibrium
    and switching kinetics of DASA without modifying the donor and acceptor groups.
    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.
