Using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory to Probe the Nature of Donor-Acceptor Stenhouse Adduct Photochromes

The front cover artwork is provided by University of Nantes (France) and Matel Bel University in Banská Bystrica (Slovakia). The image shows the vibrationally‐resolved spectra of the open DASA isomer.
