摘要

A kind of basal diarylethene through an easy synthetic procedure was synthesized and characterized, and a Suzuki coupling reaction was frequently operated to obtain the diarylethenes derivatives with some vivid functional groups like bromo, amido and pyridine. Two methods for derivatives of these switches contain porphyrins were described. All of their spectroscopic and photochromic properties were studied and intercompared. It is indicated that the difference in electron densities of the -conjugated system of the closed forms has effects upon the absorption maxima in visible region of UV-Vis spectra. Dithienylcyclopentenes linked to porphyrins could emit luminescence substantially that display potentials to be used in the applications of nondestructive readout upon binary data storage and smart materials.
