A unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene, 1-[2-methyl-5-(3,4-difluorophenyl) -3-thienyl]-2- (2-cyano-1,5-dimethyl-4-pyrryl) perfluorocyclopentene (1o), was synthesized, and its optoelectronic properties were also investigated. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism changing from colorless to blue after irradiation with UV light both in solution and in PMMA amorphous film. The open-ring isomer of the diarylethene 1 exhibited relatively strong fluorescence both in hexane solution. The fluorescence intensity decreased along with the photochromism upon irradiation with 297 nm light and its closed-ring isomer showed almost no fluorescence. Using diarylethene 1 as recording medium, polarization holographic optical recording was carried out successfully.

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 unsymmetrical diarylethene derivative bearing both indole and thiophene moieties, in which a cyanol group was substituted at the meta-positions of the terminal phenyl ring, was synthesized. At the same time, its photochromic properties and fluorescence switch were investigated in detail. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism, undergoing reversible cyclization and cycloreversion reactions upon alternating irradiation with UV and visible light both in solution and in PMMA film, and its absorption maxima were observed at 592 nm in hexane and at 607 nm in PMMA amorphous film, respectively, upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light. The fluorescence intensity of diarylethene decreased dramatically along with the photochromism from open-ring isomer to closed-ring isomer upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light in PMMA. In hexane solution, the open-ring isomer of the diarylethene 1 exhibited relatively strong fluorescence at 426 nm when excited at 350 nm.
