Synthesis and Properties Study of 1-(2,4-dimethoxyl-5-pyrimidinyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(9-phenanthrene)-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene

Abstract:

A novel photochromic diarylethene bearing a pyrimidine moiety, 1-(2,4-dimethoxyl-5-pyrimidinyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(9-phenanthrene)-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene has been synthesized. Its properties, including photochromic behavior and fluorescent properties, have been investigated. The compound exhibited remarkable photochromism, changing from colorless to red after irradiation with UV light in solution. The fluorescence had a remarkable initial increase with subsequent dramatic decrease with increasing concentration. The results indicated that the pyrimidine moiety played a very important role during the process of photoisomerization reactions.
