a Conventional catalyst-free ring-opening and closing reactions in monomolecular systems and their characteristics. EWG electron-withdrawing group, Cy cyclization. b Schematic illustration of the thermal and photo reactions of Z-CDPM under different conditions: (i) annealing at 145 °C in C2D2Cl4 for 1 d; (ii) annealing at 200 °C in diphenyl ether for 2 h; (iii) annealing at 145 °C in silica gel for 1 d; (iv, v) UV irradiation under a 365 nm UV lamp (0.12 mW/cm2) at room temperature in C2D2Cl4 for 2 h.
