Photochromism, Fluorescence and Dynamic System of a Novel Unsymmetrical Diarylethene Material Based on Naphthyl Rings

Abstract:

A new photochromic diarylethene compound, 1-[(2-methyl-5-(4-cyanophenyl)-3-thienyl)]-2-(2-methylnaphthlen-1-ly)perfluorocyclopentene (1o), was synthesized. Its properties, including photochromism, fluorescence and kinetics properties optical storage propertieswere investigated in detail both in solution and PMMA amorphous film. It underwent reversible cyclization and cycloreversion reactions upon alternating irradiation with UV and visible light in hexane
