A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene compound, 1-(2-Methyl-3-benzothiophene)-2-(5-(4-ethynyl)-2-methylthiophen-3-yl)Perfluorocyclopentene (1o),was synthesized and its photochemical, fluorescence properties were investigated systematically both in solution and PMMA amorphous film. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism, changing from colorless to pink after irradiation with 297 nm UV light both in solution and in PMMA amorphous film. The photochromic reaction kinetics indicated that the cyclization processes of 1 belong to the zeroth order reaction and the cycloreversion process belong to the first order reaction.

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene bearing an isoxazole moiety was developed, and its properties, including photochromism, photochromic reaction kinetics, and fluorescence properties were investigated systematically. The compound exhibited remarkable photochromism and functioned as a fluorescent photoswitch both in solution and in PMMA films. The results illustrated that the cyclization processes of diarylethene 1 belong to the zeroth order reaction when open-ring isomers changed to closed-ring isomers and the cycloreversion process belong to the first order reaction. Inaddition, using this diarylethene 1c as optical storage was performed successfully.

A novel photochromic diarylethene was synthesized and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were investigated. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism, changing from colorless to amaranth after irradiation with UV light both in solution and PMMA amorphous film. In hexane, compound 1a exhibited an absorption peak at 266 nm, upon irradiation with 297 nm light, a new visible absorption band centered at 530 nm emerged while the original peak at 266 nm decreased. In PMMA amorphous film, diarylethene 1a also showed good photochromism as similar to that in solution. The photochromic reaction kinetics indicated that the cyclization processes of 1a belong to the zeroth order reaction and the cycloreversion process belong to the first order reaction. Diarylethene 1a also exhibited good fluorescent switching both in solution and in PMMA film upon alternating irradiation with UV and visible light.
