Research on Photochromic Materials with Synthesis and Application of 1-(2-methyl-3-benzothienyl)-2-[2-methyl-(5-ethynyl)trimethylsilane-3-thienyl] Perfluorocyclopentene

Abstract:

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene compound, 1-(2-methyl-3-benzothienyl)-2-(2-methyl-(5-ethynyl) trimethylsilane-3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene (1o) has been synthesized, and its optoelectronic properties, such as photochromism and the fluorescence spectra of diarylethene 1o in hexane solution was investigated. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism in solution. The maxima absorption of compound closed-ring isomer 1c are 538 nm. Its fluorescence intensity decreased along with the photochromism from open-ring isomers to closed-ring isomers upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light.
