Our labs have been developing organometallic photochromic systems with tethered, derivatized hydrazone and pyridyl (or phenyl) functional groups. We will present both experimental and computational studies related to the pathway for the thermal isomerization between chelates of the tethered functional groups. Various experimental and computational spectroscopic data (IR, NMR, UV-vis) for the identification of photoproducts will also be presented and discussed.
