Photochromic Molecules

Photochromic molecules are part of a large class of materials in which light stimulus not only induces a color variation but also affects other physicochemical properties. In the paper, an asymmetrical photochromic diarylethene, 1-(2,4-dimethyl-3-thiazole)-2-[2-methyl-5-(10-phenanthrenyl)-3-thienyPerfluorocyclopentene was synthesized and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were systematically investigated. The compound exhibited remarkable photochromic, changing from colorless to OrangeRed after irradiation with UV light both in solution and in PMMA film. In addition, its fluorescence property was also discussed. When irradiation with UV light, the fluorescence intensity declined remarkably. The results showed that the diarylethene exhibited a relatively strong fluorescence switch along with the photochromism from open-ring isomer to closed-ring isomer. Using this diarylethene 1a as optical storage was performed successfully.

Photochromism is referred to as a photoinduced reversible transformation reaction between two isomers, open and closed, with different absorption spectra upon irradiation with light of an appropriate wavelength. A new photochromic diarylethene, 1-[2-methyl-5-(3, 5-difluorophenyl)-3-thienyl]-2-(2-methyl-3-benzofuran)perfluorocyclopentene(1o), has ben synthesized. The compound showed good phtochromism both in solution and in solid states. Diarylethene 1o changed the color from colorless to magenta upon irradiation with 313 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 523 nm in hexane and at 529 nm in PMMA film, respectively. Especially, the diarylethene exhibited a relatively strong fluorescence switches along with the phtochromism from open-ring isomers to closed-ring isomers in solid states.
