A designed bis(dithienyl) dicyanoethene-based, strictly E/Z photoswitch (4TCE) operates through state-selective (E and Z isomer) photoactivation with visible light. The E and Z isomers of 4TCE exhibit remarkably different spectroscopic characteristics, including a large separation (70nm) in their absorption maxima ((max)) and a 2.5-fold increase in molar extinction coefficient from cis to trans. The energetically stable trans form can be completely converted to the cis form within minutes when exposed to white light, whereas the reverse isomerization occurs readily upon irradiation by blue light (
