A new class of diarylethenes based on a hybrid structure of thiophene and naphthalene has been developed and its properties including photochromism, kinetics and fluorescence were investigated in detail. The results showed that the compound exhibited obvious photochromism, changing from colorless to red after irradiation with 297 nm UV light both in solution and in PMMA film. The kinetic experiments indicated that the cyclization/cycloreversion process of the compound was determined to be the zeroth/first order reaction in hexane solution. At last, the results demonstrated that the diarylethene compound had attractive properties for potential application in optical storage.

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene1o, which is named [1-(2-methyl-benzothiophene)-2-(2-cyano-1,5-dimethyl-4-pyrryl)]perfluorocyclopentene, was synthesized. We used it to accomplish recording by optical storage technology as memory medium. Then its photochromic both in hexane solution and in PMMA film and kinetics experiment were investigated in detail. The result indicated that this diarylethene had good thermal stability and exhibited reversible photochromism, changing the color from colorless to violet in hexane solution upon appropriate irradiation with 297 nm UV light, respectively. What is more, the kinetic experiments illustrated that the cyclization/cycloreversion process of this compound was determined to be the zeroth/first reaction. The results demonstrated that the unsymmetrical diarylethene compound1o, which we have synthesized, had attractive properties for potential application in optical storage.

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene namly 1-(2,4-dimethyl-5- thiazolyl)-2- [(2-methyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-3-thienyl)]perfluorocyclopentene was synthesized, and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were also investigated. The compound exhibited good photochromism both in solution and in PMMA film. In PMMA film, The open-ring isomer of the diarylethene 1 exhibited relatively strong fluorescence at 427 nm when excited at 320 nm. The fluorescence intensity declined along with the photochromism upon irradiation with 297 nm light. Using this dithienylethene 1b as optical storage was performed successfully.

A new photochromic diarylethene compound, 1-[2-methyl-(5-(4- dioxolane) phenyl)-3-thienyl]-2-(2-methyl-3-benzothiophene)perfluorocyclopentene (1o)was synthesized. Its properties, including photochromism and fluorescence were investigated in detail both in solution and PMMA amorphous film. It underwent reversible cyclization and cycloreversion reactions upon alternating irradiation with UV and visible light in hexane. The compound showed good phtochromism both in solution and in solid states. Diarylethene 1o changed the color from colorless to purple upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 539 nm in hexane and at 547nm in PMMA film, respectively. Using diarylethene 1c/PMMA film as recording medium, optical recording was performed successfully. This new photochromic system also exhibited remarkable optical storage character

A new photochromic diarylethene of bis(3-methyl-2-thienyl)ethene and bis(2-methyl-3- benzofuran)ethene was synthesized. Its photochromic, fluorescent and optical strorage properties were investigated. The compounds exhibited remarkable photochromism both in solution and in PMMA film. In hexane, the open-ring isomer of the diarylethene 1 exhibited relatively strong and clear fluorescent switches when excited at 270 nm. The fluorescence intensity declined along with the photochromism upon irradiation with 297 nm light. The results showed that the cyclization/cycloreversion process of the compound was determined to be the zeroth/first order reaction. This new photochromic system also exhibited remarkable optical storage character.

Photochromism; Diarylethene materials; Fluorecence; Reaction kinetics. Abstract. A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene, 1-(2-methyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(4-formyl-phenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene (1a), was synthesized, and its photochromic properties and reaction kinetics were investigated, respectively. The compound exhibited good photochromism both in solution and in PMMA film with alternating irradiation by UV/Vis light. The cyclization processes of compound 1a belong to the zeroth order reaction, while the cycloreversion processes belong to the first order reaction. The optical recording results indicated that the new photochromic diarylethene can be applied in high capacity optical storage.

A novel unsymmetrical isomeric photochromic diarylethene based on benzofuran, 1-[2-methyl-3-benzofura-2-[2-methyl-5-(10-phenanthrenyl)-3-thienyperfluorocyclopentene, was designed and synthesized. Its fluorescent and photochromic properties were also investigated in detail. The compound exhibited excellent photochromism, changing from colorless to hot pink after irradiation with UV light both in solution and in PMMA film. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensity of the photochromic diarylethene 1a declined remarkably, when irradiation with UV light. Using this diarylethene 1a as optical storage and fluorescence switches was performed successfully.
