Given the green light : Irradiation of a monolayer of an overcrowded‐alkene‐based molecular switch (see picture, left) results in generation of a mixed monolayer containing its photocyclized analogue. An efficient energy‐transfer process between these compounds is evident from the observed red‐shifted emission of the photocyclized switch.
