  text: Donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA) are a reported class of visible-light-activated
    photoswitches. DASA synthesis involves two steps using furfural as starting material,
    while their complex photoswitching mechanism consists both of actinic and thermal
    steps. As a result of their visible-light activation, negative photochromism,
    large volume and polarity change, and wavelength tunability, DASAs present significant
    promise toward light-activated materials. In the years since their first report
    in 2014, a number of applications have utilized DASA ranging from selective cargo
    release over controlled phase transfer to directed flow in solution.
