title: A novel gated photochromic reactivity controlled by complexation/dissociation with BF3.
abstract: A photochemically active dithiazolethene BN was designed and synthesized, exhibiting a specific gated photochromism. That is, the photochromic reactivity of BN is prevented to a great extent by BF(3), showing a "Lock" gate.
