Abstract
AbstractSummary: Two photochromic dithienylethene units were incorporated into one fluorene unit as a monomer and the mole ratio of photochromic unit/repeat unit reached to 2:1 using this monomer. The content of dithienylethene component in the polymer could be improved effectively by polymerization of this monomer, which contains more than one dithienylethene units. All the starting materials concerned in the synthesis are commercially available and so the synthesis could be performed on a large scale. The polymer obtained by typical palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction is photochromic both in solution and in solid state and possesses good solubility. The photochromic and photomodulation luminescence properties of the polymer are also presented.Structure of the photochromic polymer based on dithienylethene.magnified imageStructure of the photochromic polymer based on dithienylethene.
