摘要

An indole-containing diarylethene with a trifluoromethyl function at the meta-position of the phenyl group attached to the thiophene moiety was synthesised. Its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and its photochemical properties in solution and in the single crystalline phases were studied. The compound showed relatively high fluorescent modulation efficiency and cyclisation quantum yield.
