Flipping the switch: A new type of bipyridine-based ligand functionalized by phenyl- and dimethylaminophenyldithienylethene groups allows the preparation of photochromic dipolar zinc(II) complexes. For the first time, efficient on/off photoswitching of the NLO response of metallochromophores is observed.
