Synthesis and Properties of a New Photochromic diarylethene 1-(2-methylbenzothiophene-3-yl)-2-[2-methy-5-(4-methoxyl-3-formyl) phenyl-3-thieny perfluorocyclopentene

Abstract:

A novel photochromic diarylethene 1-(2-methylbenzothiophene-3-yl)-2- [2-methy-5-(4-methoxyl-3-formyl) phenyl-3-thieny perfluorocyclopentene (1a) has been synthesized. Its properties, including photochromic behavior and fluorescent features, have been investigated in detail. This diarylethene showed good photochromism both in solution and PMMA film and exhibited good fluorescence switching. Its also exhibits optical record property.
