2,3‐Didecyloxytetracene (2,3‐DDOT) is a yellow‐orange soluble derivative that undergoes a strong de‐coloration upon irradiation with visible light (470 nm). This is due to a photoreaction (Φ r = 5.9 × 10 −3 ) that leads to the formation of four photodimers, involving only the two central rings of the tetracene core.
