    Abstract The methoxy‐ and fluoro‐derivatives ofmeta‐nitrophenylacetic acid (mNPA) chromophores undergo photodecarboxylation with comparable quantum yields (Φ) to unsubstitutedmNPA, but uncage at red‐shifted excitation wavelengths. This observation prompted us to investigate DPAdeCageOMe (2‐[bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)amino]‐2‐(4‐methoxy‐3‐nitrophenyl)acetic acid) and DPAdeCageF (2‐[bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)amino]‐2‐(4‐fluoro‐3‐nitrophenyl)acetic acid) as Zn2+photocages. DPAdeCageOMe has a high Φ and exhibits other photophysical properties comparable to XDPAdeCage ({bis[(2‐pyridyl)methyl]amino}(9‐oxo‐2‐xanthenyl) acetic acid), the best preforming Zn2+photocage reported to date. Since the synthesis of DPAdeCageOMe is more straightforward than XDPACage, the new photocage will be a highly competitive tool for biological applications.
