A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene compound, 1-(2,4-dimethyl-5-thiazolyl)-2-[5-(2-chlorobenzene)-2-methyl-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene(1a), was synthesized and its photochromism and photo-induced anisotropy was investigated. Diarylethene 1a changed the color from colorless to Orange-red upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 479 nm in hexane and at 485 nm in PMMA amorphous film, respectively. It also showed good photochromism and functioned as an effective fluorescent photoswitch in solution. In hexane, the open-ring isomer of the diarylethene 1a exhibited relatively strong fluorescence at 428 nm when excited at 315 nm. This new photochromic system also exhibited remarkable optical storage character.

A new type photochromic diarylethene, 1-(2-ethylbenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2- (2-methylphenyl)perfluorocyclopentene (1o), was synthesized, and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were investigated. This compound exhibited reversible photochromism and notable fluorescence photoswitches both in solution and in PMMA films. In addition, the fluorescence spectra of diarylethene 1o evidently depended on the concentration in hexane. Using diarylethene 1c/PMMA film as recording medium, optical recording was carried out successfully.

A new photochromic diarylethene compound, 1-(2-methyl-5-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-thienyl)-2-(2-cyanophenyl)perfluorocyclopentene (1a), was synthesized and its photochromism and photo-induced anisotropy was investigated. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism, changing from colorless to purple after irradiation with UV light both in solution and in PMMA amorphous film. In hexane, the open-ring isomer of the diarylethene 1a exhibited relatively strong fluorescence at 459 nm when excited at 316 nm. The fluorescence intensity decreased along with the photochromism upon irradiation with 297 nm light and its closed-ring isomer showed weak fluorescence.

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 photochromic diarylethene 1-(2, 5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(2,2-dibutylfluorene)-3-thienyperfluorocyclo-pentene (1o) was synthesized and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were investigated. Diarylethene 1 changed the color from colorless to hyacinthine upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 554 nm in hexane and at 565 nm in PMMA amorphous film, respectively. This new photochromic system also exhibited remarkable fluorescence intensity both in solution and in PMMA film. The fluorescence spectra showed a systematic red-shift with the emission intensity of diarylethene 1 in a photo-stationary state was quenched to ca. 64%. The cyclization and cycloreversion quantum yields of 1 in hexane were determined to be 0.56 and 0.002. Polarization multiplexed image recording can be carried out in this diarylethene 1c/PMMA film as recording medium film.

Abstract. Fluorescent dyed polystyrene latex spheres (PSLs) are commonly used for characterization and calibration of instruments detecting fluorescence signals from particles suspended in the air and other fluids. Instruments like the Ultraviolet Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (UV-APS) and the Waveband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor (WIBS) are widely used for bioaerosol research, but these instruments present significant technical and physical challenges requiring careful characterization with standard particles. Many other research communities use flow cytometry and other instruments that interrogate fluorescence from individual particles, and these also frequently rely on fluorescent PSLs as standards. Nevertheless, information about physical properties of commercially available PSLs provided by each manufacturer is generally proprietary and rarely available, making their use in fluorescence validation and calibration very difficult. This technical note presents an overview of steady-state fluorescence properties of fluorescent and non-fluorescent PSLs, as well as of polystyrene-divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) particles, by using on- and offline spectroscopic techniques. We show that the “fluorescence landscape” of PSLs is more complex than the information typically provided by manufacturers may imply, especially revealing multimodal emission patterns. Furthermore, non-fluorescent PSLs also exhibit defined patterns of fluorescent emission originating from a mixture of polystyrene and detergents, which becomes a crucial point for fluorescence threshold calibrations and qualitative comparison between instruments. By comparing PSLs of different sizes, but doped with the same dye, changes in emission spectra from bulk solutions are not immediately obvious. On a single-particle scale, however, fluorescence intensity values increase with increasing particle size. No significant effect in the fluorescence signatures was detectable by comparing PSLs in dry vs. wet states, indicating that solvent water may only play a minor role as a fluorescence quencher. Because information provided by manufacturers of commercially available PSLs is generally very limited, we provide the steady-state excitation–emission matrices (EEMs) of PSLs as open-access data within the Supplement. Detergent and solvent effects are also discussed in order to provide information not available elsewhere to researchers in the bioaerosol and other research communities. These data are not meant to serve as a fundamental library of PSL properties because of the variability of fluorescent properties between batches and as a function of particle aging and agglomeration. The data presented, however, provide a summary of spectral features which are consistent across these widely used fluorescent standards. Using these concepts, further checks will likely be required by individual researchers using specific lots of standards.

In the present study, we designed a novel unsymmetrical isomeric diarylethene derivative bearing both thiophene and anthracene moieties. Its photochromic properties and fluorescence were investigated in detail. In hexane solution, the open-ring isomer of the diarylethene 1 exhibited relatively strong fluorescence. The photochromic reaction kinetics indicated that the cyclization process of 1o belongs to the zeroth order reaction and the cycloreversion process belongs to the first order reaction. This new photochromic system also exhibited remarkable optical storage character.
