Synthesis of the diaryle-thene-containing ligand LI based on Suzuki cross-coupling reaction between thienyl boronic acid and the dibromophenanthroline ligand is reported. On coordination to the rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complex system, the photochromism of L1 could be photosensitized and consequently extended from intraligand excitation at λ≤340nm in the free ligand to metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excitation atλ≤480nm in the complex. The photo-chromic reactions were studied by 1HNMR, UV/Vis, and steady-state emission spectroscopy. Photosensitization was further probed by ultrafast transient absorption and time-resolved emission spectroscopy. The results provided direct evidence that the formation of the closed form by the MLCT-sensitized photochromic process was derived from the 3MLCT excited state. This supports the photosensitization mechanism, which involves an intramolecular energy-transfer process from the 3MLCT to the 3IL(L1) state that initiated the ring-closure reaction. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the complex were also investigated.

The perylene diimide substituented by thiophene rings at bay area shows photoactivity and can be used as a photo sensor, but another one substituented by mestylene groups is photostable. The single crystal of 1,7-mesitylene perylene diimide was obtained. X-ray diffraction data of the crystal revealed that the plane of the perylene core was hardly twisted by introduction of mesitylene groups. These mestylene groups are like clips maintaining the planarity of the perylene core. Density functional theory calculation was applied to study the difference of photophysical and photochemical properties. The discovery is valuable for design guidance of perylene diimides.

Uni-directional multi-state fluorochromic scaffolds are valuable photofunctional molecules and yet scarce. We report a general approach for their design, i.e., mechanodonor-acceptor coupling (MDAC). A photochromic molecule is a mechanodonor, due to its capability to convert photonic energy into mechanical force. Upon proper coupling, it can be used to drive a mechanochromic molecule for uni-directional multi-state fluorochromism. The embodiment of this approach is a rhodamine-dithienylethylene hydride (RDH), which has been successfully employed in super-resolution localization microscopy[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Nucleosidic and oligonucleotidic diarylethenes (DAEs) are an emerging class of photochromes with high application potential. However, their further development is hampered by the poor understanding of how the chemical structure modulates the photochromic properties. Here we synthesized 26 systematically varied deoxyuridine- and deoxycytidine-derived DAEs and analyzed reaction quantum yields, composition of the photostationary states, thermal and photochemical stability, and reversibility. This analysis identified two high-performance photoswitches with near-quantitative, fully reversible back-and-forth switching and no detectable thermal or photochemical deterioration. When incorporated into an oligonucleotide with the sequence of a promotor, the nucleotides maintained their photochromism and allowed the modulation of the transcription activity of T7 RNA polymerase with an up to 2.4-fold turn-off factor, demonstrating the potential for optochemical control of biological processes.

The concepts of excited-state aromaticity and antiaromaticity have in recent years with increasing frequency been invoked to rationalize the photochemistry of cyclic conjugated organic compounds, with the long-term goal of using these concepts to improve
The role of alkyl substituents in deazaadenine-based diarylethene photoswitches

Diarylethenes are an important class of reversible photoswitches and often claimed to require two alkyl substituents at the carbon atoms between which the bond is formed or broken in the electrocyclic rearrangement. Here we probe this claim by the synthesis and characterization of four pairs of deazaadenine-based diarylethene photoswitches with either one or two methyl groups at these positions. Depending on the substitution pattern, diarylethenes with one alkyl group can exhibit significant photochromism, but they generally show poor stability towards extended UV irradiation, low thermal stability, and decreased fatigue resistance. The results obtained provide an important direction for the design of new efficient DNA photoswitches for the application in bionanotechnology and synthetic biology.

Dithienylethene photochromic switching units have been incorporated into a hydrogelating system based on a tripeptide motif. The resulting hybrid system provided both a photochromic response and the ability to gelate water under acidic and neutral conditi
Substituent and solvent effects on the fluorescent and photochromic properties of 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole containing diarylethene derivatives
Peng, Xuefeng,Deng, Jian-Guo,Xu, Hai-Bing
, p. 24146 - 24153 (2013/11/19)
Five diarylethene derivatives with 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole as the ethene bridges (PI-BTEs) were synthesized and characterized. The structures and performances of the PI-BTEs (L1-L5) could be modified from not only the thiophene unit, but also the substituent on the imidazole nitrogen. Noteworthily, replacing the thiophene with the benzothiophene, the fatigue resistance is significantly improved, the centre absorption bands of the closed forms shift from 572 nm (L3) to 550 nm (L2), and the colours of the solutions change from pale pink in L3 to red-purple in L2. Additionally, the Stokes shift (Δν) values of L3 in various solvents display good linear relationships with the donor number (DN) of the solvents, and the solvent polarity parameter Δf.
