Photochromic polymers with various diarylethene derivatives were synthesized by a conventional radical polymerization of styrene derivatives having diarylethene chromophores as the pendant. All the polymers exhibited reversible photochromism in the film a
Ultimate diastereoselectivity in the ring closure of photochromic diarylethene possessing facial chirality

supporting information; experimental part, p. 4785 - 4787 (2010/09/16)
A bisthienylethene with hitherto unprecedented facial chirality imposed by a triethyleneglycol bridge on a thiophene ring was synthesized and its photochromic ring closure was shown to occur with 100% diastereoselectivity upon UV-light irradiation.
Photo-, solvent-, and ion-controlled multichromism of imidazolium- substituted diarylethenes
Nakashima, Takuya,Miyamura, Kentaro,Sakai, Toshiyuki,Kawai, Tsuyoshi
experimental part, p. 1977 - 1984 (2009/09/08)
Cationic diarylethenes with an imidazolium ring are synthesized for the first time. The imidazolium cationic moiety is connected directly to the ethene unit as one of the aryl units that take part in the photoinduced pericyclization reaction. The imidazol

An excess of bis-1,3-(4-iodophenyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, prepared in 63% yield by iodination of 1.3-diphenylbicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, was selectively mono-coupled with 9-ethynyl-1,5-dimethoxy-10-phenylethynylanthracene (26), and subsequently with the zinc derivatives of 1-(2-methyl/methoxy-4-methyl-5- phenylthiophen-3-yl)-2-(2-methyl/methoxy-4-methylthiophen-3-yl) perfluorocyclopentenes (38-H-41-H). Regioselective synthesis of the 2-unsubslituted thiophenes 38-H-41-H required intermediate prepara tion of 2-trimethylsilyl-3,5-dimethyl-4-bromothiophene (37) or 2-trimethylsilyl-5- methoxy-3-methyl-4-bromothiophene (40). Protection of the α-position of the thiophene ring with a 2-trimethylsilyl group blocks the rearrangement of the 4-lithio derivatives into the corresponding 2-lithiated thiophenes. With the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane frag ment linking the photochromic units 1-3 and 1,5-dimethoxy-9,10-di(phenylethynyl)anthracene as a fluorescent part, quantitative resonance energy transfer between the excited state of the fluorophore (donor) and the closed form of the photochromic units 1-3 (acceptors) was observed. The closed forms of the methoxy-substituted photochromic units 2 and 3 are less resistant to UV light (313 nm) than the closed form of 1.
Synthesis and photochromic reactivity of a diarylethene dimer linked by a phenyl group

A diarylethene dimer linked by a phenyl group was synthesized and the photochromic behavior was examined. Upon irradiation with ultraviolet light (λ=313 nm), a hexane solution of the diarylethene dimer (1a) turned purple blue. Upon further prolonged irradiation the color changed to blue. The purple-blue and blue colors are due to the formation of a dimer having one open- and one closed-ring forms (1b) and a dimer having two closed-ring forms (1c), respectively. Both 1b and 1c returned to 1a by irradiation with visible light (λ>500 nm). The photochromic reactivity was evaluated by measuring quantum yields of the photocyclization and photocycloreversion reactions. The photocyclization quantum yield was 0.50. The cycloreversion quantum yield from 1c to 1b (0.0026) was lower than that from 1b to 1a (0.0094).
