Efficient Synthesis, Properties of a Novel Unsymmetrical Photochromic Diarylethene Based on Trifluoromethy Group and Formyl Group

Article Preview

Abstract:

An unsymmetrical diarylethene derivative was synthesized, and its photochromic properties and fluorescence switch were investigated in detail. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism, undergoing reversible cyclization and cycloreversion reactions upon alternating irradiation with UV and visible light both in solution and in PMMA film, and its absorption maxima were observed at 599 nm in hexane and at 609 nm in PMMA amorphous film, respectively, upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light. The fluorescence intensity of diarylethene decreased dramatically along with the photochromism from open-ring isomer to closed-ring isomer upon irradiation with 297 nm light in PMMA. In hexane solution, the open-ring isomer of the diarylethene 1 exhibited relatively strong fluorescence at 419 nm when excited at 309 nm. The fluorescence intensity is highest at the concentration of 5.0×10-5 mol/L when excited at 309 nm.
