Synthesis and Properties of a Photochromic Switch

Abstract:

A new purple photochromic diarylethene compound, [1- (2-ethyl-3-benzothienyl)-2-(1,3,5-trimethyl-4-pyrazolyl)]perfluoroclopentene (1a), was synthesized and its photochemical properties were investigated in detail. The results demonstrated that the compound has good photochromism in PMMA amorphous film and fluorescence switching properties.
