A new class of diarylethenes based on a hybrid structure of thiophene and naphthalene has been developed and its properties including photochromism, kinetics and fluorescence were investigated in detail. The results showed that the compound exhibited obvious photochromism, changing from colorless to red after irradiation with 297 nm UV light both in solution and in PMMA film. The kinetic experiments indicated that the cyclization/cycloreversion process of the compound was determined to be the zeroth/first order reaction in hexane solution. At last, the results demonstrated that the diarylethene compound had attractive properties for potential application in optical storage.

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene 1-(2,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazol)-2-[2-methyl-5-(2-chlorophenyl) -3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene (1a) has been synthesized. Its photochromic properties in solution and PMMA film were investigated. Diarylethene 1a changed the color from colorless to red upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 515 nm in hexane and at 526 nm in PMMA film, The results demonstrated that it can be potentially used as polarization holographic optical recording medium.

Four naphthopyran derivatives, namely, 3,3-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran, C33H22O, NP1, 3,3-bis([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran, C37H26O, NP2, 3,3-bis(4-phenoxyphenyl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran, C37H26O2, NP3, and 3,3-bis(4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran, C29H26O3, NP4, were synthesized and their photochromic properties investigated. NP1–NP4 exhibited good photochromism in different solutions and in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film under UV light irradiation. Solvatochromism and the electronic and steric effects of the substituent group on photochromism were analyzed and decolouration curves were found to fit a monoexponential kinetic decay in most cases. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of NP1 and NP2 revealed the structure–property relationships. Good fatigue resistance of NP1, both in solution and in the PMMA film, endows it with potential value for applications.

A new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene1o, which is named [1-(2-methyl-benzothiophene)-2-(2-cyano-1,5-dimethyl-4-pyrryl)]perfluorocyclopentene, was synthesized. We used it to accomplish recording by optical storage technology as memory medium. Then its photochromic both in hexane solution and in PMMA film and kinetics experiment were investigated in detail. The result indicated that this diarylethene had good thermal stability and exhibited reversible photochromism, changing the color from colorless to violet in hexane solution upon appropriate irradiation with 297 nm UV light, respectively. What is more, the kinetic experiments illustrated that the cyclization/cycloreversion process of this compound was determined to be the zeroth/first reaction. The results demonstrated that the unsymmetrical diarylethene compound1o, which we have synthesized, had attractive properties for potential application in optical storage.

A novel unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene 1-(2, 5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(2,2-dibutylfluorene)-3-thienyperfluorocyclo-pentene (1o) was synthesized and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were investigated. Diarylethene 1 changed the color from colorless to hyacinthine upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 554 nm in hexane and at 565 nm in PMMA amorphous film, respectively. This new photochromic system also exhibited remarkable fluorescence intensity both in solution and in PMMA film. The fluorescence spectra showed a systematic red-shift with the emission intensity of diarylethene 1 in a photo-stationary state was quenched to ca. 64%. The cyclization and cycloreversion quantum yields of 1 in hexane were determined to be 0.56 and 0.002. Polarization multiplexed image recording can be carried out in this diarylethene 1c/PMMA film as recording medium film.

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.
