A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene 1-(2,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazol)-2-[2-methyl-5-(2-chlorophenyl) -3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene (1a) has been synthesized. Its photochromic properties in solution and PMMA film were investigated. Diarylethene 1a changed the color from colorless to red upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 515 nm in hexane and at 526 nm in PMMA film, The results demonstrated that it can be potentially used as polarization holographic optical recording medium.

A novel unsymmetrical diarylethene derivative bearing both benzofuran and thiophene moieties, 1-(2-methyl--3-benzofuranyl)-2-[(2-methyl-3-thienyl-5-thienyl)-3-thieny perfluorocyclopentene (1o), was synthesized. At the same time, its photochromic properties 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 523 nm in hexane and at 539 nm in PMMA amorphous film, respectively, upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light. Finally, using this diarylethene as recording medium, polarization optical recording was carried out successfully.

A new photochromic diarylethene compound 1-(2, 4-dimethyl-thiazole-3-yl)-2- [2-methyl -5-(3-cyanophenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene 1a was synthesized and its photochromic properties, such as phoochromism, fluorescence switch and optical recording were investigated detail. The result showed that this diarylethene compound showed good reversible photochromism. Upon irradiated UV light it changes from colorless to orange both in solution and in PMMA amorphous film. In addition, the fluorescence spectra of diarylethene 1a were nearly quenched with the concentration increased. Finally, using diarylethene 1c as recording medium, polarization optical recording was carried out successfully.

A novel photochromic diarylethene, 1-(2-ethyl-benzothiophen-3-yl)-2-(2-methyl-5-(2-cyanophenyl)thien-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene(1o) was synthesized, and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were investigated. This compound exhibited reversible photochromism, changing from colorless to purle after irradiation with UV light both in solution and in poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) amorphous film. Also, it exhibited remarkable fluorescence switching in the solid state. When we used diarylethene 1c/PMMA film as recording medium, rewritable holographic optical storage was performed successfully. The results demonstrated that the diarylethene compound had attractive properties for polarization holographic optical recording, such as high photosensitivity, high spatial resolution, excellent fatigue-resistance.

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.
