Toolkit/donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) photoswitch
donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) photoswitch
Also known as: DASA, DASA photoswitch, donor–acceptor Stenhouse adduct
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Component. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) photoswitches have gained a lot of attention since their discovery in 2014. Their negative photochromism, visible light absorbance, synthetic tunability, and the large property changes between their photoisomers make them attractive candidates over other commonly used photoswitches for use in materials with responsive or adaptive properties.

The review describes emerging applications of DASA photoswitches in polymeric materials including light-responsive drug delivery systems, photothermal actuators, sensors, and photoswitchable surfaces.
DASA photoswitches are attractive for responsive or adaptive materials because they combine negative photochromism, visible-light absorbance, synthetic tunability, and large property changes between photoisomers.
Incorporation of DASAs into polymers can be difficult because DASAs are incompatible with the conditions used in many common polymerization techniques.
Understanding DASA behavior remains challenging in both small-molecule and materials contexts.
