A novel photochromic diarylethene, 1-[(2-methyl-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-thienyl)]-2-(2-methyl-1-naphthyl) perfluorocyclopentene (1o), was synthesized. Its optoelectronic properties, such as photochromism in solution as well as in poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA) amorphous films, fluorescences 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 511 nm in hexane and at 522 nm in PMMA amorphous film, respectively, upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light.

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.
