Two stable core-modified rubyrins bearing one and two dithienylethene (DTE) units (1 and 2) have been synthesized. With one "closed-form" DTE unit, 1 shows aromaticity associated with its conjugated circuit of 26 π-electrons. In contrast, rubyrin 2 containing one "open-form" DTE unit has nonaromatic properties.
A novel approach to achieve molecular switching in solid-state driving by thermal treatment: A photochromic zinc-coordination polymer
Almá?i, Miroslav,Walko, Martin,Bor?íková, Jana,Gyepes, Róbert

The molecular switching of complexes based on diarylethenes in a solid-state is their most frequently studied property. This switching becomes possible when the active carbon atoms acquire a suitable interatomic separation in the molecule. Even if the structural analysis may suggest conditions disfavouring the occurrence of such switching, it may still be enabled by post-synthetic modification of the sample, like dehydration. In the present study, a novel one-dimensional coordination polymer with composition {[Zn(μ3-HA)(H2O)3]·H2O}n (I) was prepared and characterized. In its solid state, however, its thiophene rings were arranged in the non-switchable conformation yielding a C···C separation 4.148(6) ? between the active carbon atoms. After fully dehydrating the sample, this interatomic separation decreased to 3.814 ?, making it susceptible to photochromism by UV radiation.

The synthesis, photochromic features, and electrochemistry of a novel material based on dithienylethene (DTE) and 3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepine (didecyl-ProDOT) units are described. It is noteworthy that 1,2-bis(5-(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-2-methylthiophen-3-yl)cyclopent-1-ene can be effciently switched between open and closed states by light in both solution and in the solid poly(methyl metacrylate) (PMMA) matrix. It is also found that the emission of this novel compound can be switched on and off upon irradiation.
Controlling covalent connection and disconnection with light
Goestl, Robert,Hecht, Stefan

The on-going need for feature miniaturization and the growing complexity of structures for use in nanotechnology demand the precise and controlled formation of covalent bonds at the molecular level. Such control requires the use of external stimuli that offer outstanding spatial, temporal, as well as energetic resolution. Thus, photoaddressable switches are excellent candidates for creating a system that allows reversible photocontrol over covalent chemical connection and disconnection. Here we show that the formation of covalent bonds between two reagents and their scission in the resulting product can be controlled exclusively by illumination with differently colored light. A furyl-substituted photoswitchable diarylethene was shown to undergo a reversible Diels-Alder reaction with maleimide to afford the corresponding Diels-Alder adduct. Our system is potentially applicable in any field already relying on the benefits of reversible Diels-Alder reactions.
Light-controlled self-assembly of a dithienylethene bolaamphiphile in water
Creemer, Cassidy,Kilic, Haydar,Lee, Kwang Soo,Parquette, Jon R.,Saracoglu, Nurullah
, p. 8846 - 8849 (2020)
The self-assembly of bolaamphiphiles comprised of a central photochromic dithienylethene (DTE) chromophore was investigated in aqueous media. Irradiation at 254 nm induced a conversion from the open to closed states of the DTE chromophores. Whereas, in water, irradiation produced a photostationary state of 20 : 80 (open/closed), in methanol the ratio improved to 10 : 90 (open/closed). The open → closed transition was accompanied by the formation of 1D nanofibers during incubation in darkness. This journal is
Synthesis and properties of tetraphenylethylene derivatived diarylethene with photochromism and aggregation-induced emission
Dong, Huan,Luo, Miao,Wang, Sheng,Ma, Xiang
, p. 118 - 128 (2017)
A series of new diarylethene compounds with both photochromism and aggregation-induced emission have been synthesized by connecting tetraphenylethene and triphenylethene to the bisthienylethene. All the four compounds exhibit good photochromism upon irradiation with alternative UV and visible light. And they are all provided with aggregation-induced emission properties in tetrahydrofuran solution with different fraction of water, non-emissive in the pure tetrahydrofuran solution but yellowish green fluorescence in the aggregate or solid state. Furthermore, the compounds connecting tetraphenylethene to the bisthienylethene were found to exhibit the stronger fluorescence emission in the aggregate or solid state than the ones connecting triphenylethene to the bisthienylethene.
