A recently developed family of bistable hydrazone‐based photochromic compounds open new possibilities for molecular machinists with their unique combination of properties. Herein we report on the effect of acid/protonation on the switching and fluorescence emission of a recently reported dimethyl amino hydrazone derivative (1). The fluorescence of1can be turned ON/OFF upon deprotonation/protonation cycles, and protonated1photoswitches efficiently. Meanwhile, acid catalysis leads to a dramatic acceleration of its thermal relaxation rate (from years to hours).
