title: Red, far-red, and near infrared photoswitches based on azonium ions.
abstract: Azonium ions formed by p-amino substituted azo compounds with both ortho- and meta-methoxy substituents exhibit strong absorbance in far-red and near infrared spectral region. The compounds undergo robust photoswitching in aqueous solution and exhibit a range of thermal relaxation rates from 10 μs-100 ms.
