Synthesis and Properties of 1-[(2-methyl-5-chloro)-3-thienyl]-2-[(2-methyl-5-(2-fluorophenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene

Abstract:

A unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene which called 1-[(2-methyl-5-chloro)-3-thieny-2-[(2-methyl-5-(2-fluorophenyl)-3-thienyperfluorocyclopentene (1a) was synthesized and their properties such as photochromism in solution as well as poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA) amorphous films, fluorescences and reaction kinetics properties were investigated in detail. The dithienylethene has shown good photochromic behavior both in solution and in PMMA amorphous films.
