Abstract

A novel isomeric photochromic diarylethene, 1-(2-methyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(4-pentylphenyl)-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene, was designed and synthesized. Its fluorescent and photochromic properties were also studied in detail. The compound exhibited excellent photochromism, changing from colorless to bule after irradiation with UV light both in solution and in PMMA film. In addition, the fluorescence intensity of the photochromic diarylethene 1a declined remarkably, when irradiation with UV light.
