Synthesis and Application of 1-(2,5-dimethyl-3-thiazolyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluoroyclopentene

Abstract:

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene with thiazole ring 1-(2,5-dimethyl-3-thiazolyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-3-thienyperfluorocyclopentene (1o) has been synthesized, and its properties, such as photochromism and fluorescence properties were investigated. Diarylethene 1 changed the color from colorless to orange upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 487 nm in hexane.
