A novel photochromic diarylethene bearing a six-membered aryl unit, 1-[2-methyl-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-3-thienyl]-2-(2-methoxylphenyl)perfluorocyclopentene (1o), was synthesized and its photochromic properties, fluorescence switch and optical recording were investigated in detail. This compound exhibited remarkable photochromism, changing from colorless to blue after irradiation with 297 nm UV light both in solution and in PMMA film, respectively. The new diarylethene also exhibited excellent fluorescence intensity and fluorescence switches by photoirradiation in hexane solution. Finally, photo-mode rewritable optical storage using 1o was performed. The images demonstrated that the compound as optical storage material was very sensitive responding to 633 nm recording laser, and the recorded-signals were provided with high S/N ratio.

A novel photochromic diarylethene based on isoxazole moiety was synthesized and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were also investigated. It underwent reversible cyclization and cycloreversion reactions upon alternating irradiation with UV and visible light in hexane and in PMMA film. The compound exhibited remarkable photochromism, changing from colorless to purple after irradiation with UV light. When irradiation with UV light, the fluorescence intensity declined remarkably. The results showed that the diarylethene exhibited a relatively strong fluorescence switch along with the photochromism from open-ring isomer to closed-ring isomer. Using this dithienylethene 1c as optical storage was performed successfully.

Photochromic molecules are part of a large class of materials in which light stimulus not only induces a color variation but also affects other physicochemical properties. In the paper, an asymmetrical photochromic diarylethene, 1-(2,4-dimethyl-3-thiazole)-2-[2-methyl-5-(10-phenanthrenyl)-3-thienyPerfluorocyclopentene was synthesized and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were systematically investigated. The compound exhibited remarkable photochromic, changing from colorless to OrangeRed after irradiation with UV light both in solution and in PMMA film. In addition, its fluorescence property was also discussed. When irradiation with UV light, the fluorescence intensity declined remarkably. The results showed that the diarylethene exhibited a relatively strong fluorescence switch along with the photochromism from open-ring isomer to closed-ring isomer. Using this diarylethene 1a as optical storage was performed successfully.

A novel photochromic diarylethene based on a six-membered pyrimidine moiety 1-(2,4-dimethoxyl-5-pyrimidinyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(4-n-pentylbenzene)-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopent-ene has been synthesized. Its properties, including photochromic behavior and fluorescent properties, have been investigated. The compounds exhibited remarkable photochromism, changing from colorless to red after irradiation with UV light both in solution and in PMMA film. The fluorescence had a remarkable initial increase with subsequent dramatic decrease with increasing concentration. The results indicated that the pyrimidine moiety played a very important role during the process of photoisomerization reactions.
