19. The term "flip" is used to visualize the change in relative positions of the two components rather than as a statement about any mechanism of reorientation. Formally, the term "switch" should be reserved for molecules which are truly bistable. Although our molecules never exist 100% as one isomer, there is potential for bistability in this system and this is a primary goal in this work
20. 2 (Fig. 2) was too broad to allow the direct measurement of the rate of "flip" by NMR exchange spectroscopy. The value reported herein was calculated by fitting the variable temperature data to a simulation using the program gNMR. Unfortunately, rates were unattainable for the other systems due to poor solubility at low temperature or the use of solvents with high freezing points
