Diazocines, a type of photoswitch molecules, are distinguished by their unique conformation and photochromic properties. Molecular engineering of diazocines, especially the π-extended ones, remains challenging due to limited synthetic methods. Here, we developed three π-fused diazocines (BAZO-1, BAZ...
