(Chemical Equation Presented) The deck is stacked in favor of future photonic devices. Novel photochromic crystals comprise alternating layers of two conformations of diarylethene 1 a. Irradiation with UV light induces isomerization of only one conformer

DTE-BODIPY 2 and BTD-DTE 3 were designed for reversible light modulation of electron- and energy-transfer processes on TiO2, and showed almost complete ring closure. In BTD-DTE 3 the BTD is an acceptor group in the open form (OF), and an energy donor group in the closed form (CF), but this property is depending on the solvent. Quantum yields for ring closure decreased (BTD-DTE 3: factor 5; DTE-BODIPY 2: factor 12) compared to DTE 1, because of π-system elongation in OFs, and also cycloreversion quantum yields became smaller (BTD-DTE 3: factor 1.4; DTE-BODIPY 2: factor 2.2).
