18. It has been previously reported the protonation of anilines in glass cover slides used for fluorescence microscopy, due to the fact the slides are prepared by acid cleaning prior to spin-casting. See: M. Sauer Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2003, 115, 1790.

24. Since O-DCHF dyes exhibited a very low intersystem crossing quantum yield, we can infer that trans-cis photoisomerisation in 1 and 2 proceeds via the excited singlet state of the trans form, in accordance with the generally accepted model for the photoisomerisation of stilbene-like molecules
