The four heteroazoarenes presented in this study (1, 2, 3, and 4) were obtained from the results of a high-throughput virtual screening (HVTS) study, which generated 1700 heteroazoarenes molecules for the VERDE materials database . We calculated the λ max and t1/2 values for all molecules, which highlighted the 77 and 76 nm difference in λ max between the (2,2) and (3,3) substituted structures and a 10 6 range in half-lives.
