A new family of biomimetic photoactivated molecular switches based in the retinal chromophore is described. Expedient synthesis allows a library of compounds with a different substitution pattern, including chiral substituents, to be obtained. The effect of substitution, solvent, and light source on the photoisomerization step has been assessed. The absorption maximum has been red-shifted ca. 50 nm with respect to related systems and rotation is now easily achieved by using visible light.

been studied. Both types of compounds share fast and controllable photoisomerization. Other competitive reaction pathways that could lead to low efficiency have been considered. Only weak fluorescence was measured and high photostability was found when irradiating these compounds for long times, together with high photoisomerization quantum yields. NAFPs are capable of using visible light, which could
