Synthesis and Application of 1-(2-methyl-3-benzothienyl)-2-[3-methyl-2-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene

Abstract:

A novel unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene compound 1-(2-methyl-3-benzothienyl)-2-[3-methyl-2-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene was designed and constructed successfully. Its optoelectronic properties have been discussed systematically, such as photochromic, fluorescence switch, kinetics experiments in hexane solution and PMMA. The consequences showed that this compound exhibited good reversible photochromism. The maxima absorption of compound closed-ring isomer 1c is 468nm. Upon irradiation with 297nm UV light, Its fluorescence intensity decreased along with the photochromism from open-ring isomers to closed-ring isomers upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light.
