This may be due to the fact that the compound reported by Huang and co-workers was not highly emissive, as no emission data were reported, so that the photochromic reactivity is found to be modulated but not suppressed in that system. On the contrary, Branda and co-workers demonstrated the use of dithienylethene moiety to modulate the Lewis acidity of three-coordinated boron: Lemieux, V.; Spantulescu, M. D.; Baldridge, K.
