A new photochromic diarylethene compound, 1-[2-methyl-5-(3-thienyl)-3-thieny-2-[2-methyl-5-(3-benzaldehyde)-3-thieny perfluorocyclopentene (1a) was synthesized. Its properties, including photochromism and fluorescence were investigated in detail both in solution and PMMA amorphous film. It underwent reversible cyclization and cycloreversion reactions upon alternating irradiation with UV and visible light in hexane. The compound showed good phtochromism both in solution and in solid states. Diarylethene 1a changed the color from colorless to navy upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 577 nm in hexane and at 592 nm in PMMA film, respectively. Using diarylethene 1b/PMMA film as recording medium, optical recording was performed 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 colorless open form with fluorescence character could be regenerated by irradiation with visible light. In hexane solution, when the concentration at 2 × 10-5 mol/L the fluorescence peak have the maximum. The cyano group and its substituted position can availably modulate the optical and electrochemical behaviours of these diarylethene derivatives. In addition, polarization optical recording using this diarylethene as recording medium was performed successfully.
