2,4,4,6-Tetraphenyl-4H-thiopyran, C29H22S, orthorhombic, Pna21, a = 17.980(4), b = 6.956(2), c = 34.562(11) Å, V = 4323(2) Å3, Z = 8, Dx = 1.237 g cm-3, F(000) = 1696, λ(CuKα) = 1.54184 A, μ = 1.372 mm-2, T = 294 K. The final R was 0.050 for the unique set of 3103 observed reflections. The central 4H-thiopyran ring forms a boat conformation for both symmetrically independent molecules with average boat angles 4.4(3) and 6.8(3)° at S and C(sp3), respectively. The mean planes of phenyls at the position 2 and 6 are turned from the double plane of 4H-thiopyran by 42.5(5) and 35.8(3)°, respectively. The investigated material undergoes a photochromic change in the solid state after irradiation with UV light or X-rays. The maximum of the new absorption band is situated at 564 nm. The non-exponential time dependence of photochromic bleaching is analysed in terms of a dispersive first-order reaction.

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.

The photodegradation of 4,4-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) pentanoic acid (DPA) with two cyclodextrins (α-CD and β-CD ) in aqueous solutions induced by UV-light was studied in this paper by means of fluorescence spectra and high efficiency liquid chromatography. The result suggested that DPA with α-CD or β-CD formed inclusion compound in aqueous solutions. The photodegradation of DPA with two cyclodextrins or without cyclodextrin was pseudo-first order reaction. The photodegradation of DPA was accelerated by the addition of β-CD in aqueous solutions, but the that of DPA was inhibited in case of adding α-CD. These differences were due to the differences in inclusion interaction of DPA with α-CD or β-CD.

A new photochromic diarylethene compound, 1-(2,4-dimethoxy-5-pyrimidine)-2-[2-methyl-5-(3-pyridine)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene(1a), was synthesized, and its photochromic reactivity, fluorescent and electrochemical property were also investigated. Diarylethene 1a changed the color from colorless to pink upon irradiation with UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 520 and 519 nm in hexane and PMMA film, respectively. The the photochromic reaction kinetics indicated that the cyclization processes of 1 belong to the zeroth order reaction and the cycloreversion process belong to the first order reaction. This new photochromic system also exhibited remarkable fluorescence switching in hexane solution and this new photochromic system also exhibited remarkable optical storage character.

An asymmetrical photochromic diarylethene1-(2-Methyl-3-benzothiophene)-2-[2-methyl-5-(3-fluoro-4-chloro) phenyl-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene (1o) was synthesized and its phtochromic, fluorescent properties were investigated in detail. This compound exhibited remarkable photochromism, upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, the colorless solution of 1o turned to violetred with a new visible absorption band centered at 538 nm (ε = 1.17 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1) attributable to the closed-ring isomer 1c. The kinetic experiments showed that the cyclization and cycloreversion processes were zeroth and first order reaction, respectively. Moreover, diarylethene 1o also exhibited obviously fluorescence switches along with the photochromism.The emission intensity of diarylethene 1o in a photostationary state was quenched to ca. 27% in hexane.

A novel photochromic diarylethene was synthesized and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were investigated. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism, changing from colorless to amaranth after irradiation with UV light both in solution and PMMA amorphous film. In hexane, compound 1a exhibited an absorption peak at 266 nm, upon irradiation with 297 nm light, a new visible absorption band centered at 530 nm emerged while the original peak at 266 nm decreased. In PMMA amorphous film, diarylethene 1a also showed good photochromism as similar to that in solution. The photochromic reaction kinetics indicated that the cyclization processes of 1a belong to the zeroth order reaction and the cycloreversion process belong to the first order reaction. Diarylethene 1a also exhibited good fluorescent switching both in solution and in PMMA film upon alternating irradiation with UV and visible light.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C8H14N6O2, contains two independent molecules. In one molecule, the amide-substituted N atoms of the tetrazine ring deviate from the plane [maximum deviation = 0.028 (1) Å] through the four other atoms in the ring by 0.350 (2) and 0.344 (2) Å, forming a boat conformation, and the mean planes of the two carboxamide groups form dihedral angles of 10.46 (13) and 20.41 (12)° with the four approximtely planar atoms in the tetrazine ring. In the other molecule, the amide-substituted N atoms of the tetrazine ring deviate from the plane [maximum deviation = 0.033 (1) Å] through the four other atoms in the ring by 0.324 (2) and 0.307 (2) Å, forming a boat conformation, and the mean planes of the two carboxamide groups form dihedral angles of 14.66 (11) and 17.08 (10)° with the four approximately planar atoms of the tetrazine ring.
