New Photochromic Materials
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this work was the synthesis and study of photochromic compounds with new properties. Five dithienylethene type compounds (1a-3a and 1b-2b) were synthesized and studied. They can reversibly interconvert between two thermally stable forms, an open and a closed one, by using light of different wavelengths as triggers. Compounds 2 and 3 represent oligothiophenes endowed with a photoactivated switch and in view of their potential use as switched oligothiophenes they are of special interest in molecular electronic devices. In addition, both forms of 1b and 2b present absorption bands whose excitation gives very large differences in fluorescence between the two forms with very little effect on the opening/closing state, a feature of interest for optical memory data systems.

Density Functional Theory Study of Photodegradation and Fatigue-Resistance of Photochromic Materials for Optical Switching and Data Storage Applications
Photochromic compounds are promising materials for optoelectronic and photonic applications because of their ability to undergo change in color under UV/Vis illumination due to reversible chemical transition from open to closed ring isomers (photocyclization). The by-produc formation may lead to irreversible photodegradation of the material, called fatigue. We use Density Functional Theory meth...

متن کاملThe impact of lone pair-π interactions on photochromic properties in 1-D naphthalene diimide coordination networks.
Lone pair-π interaction is an important but less studied binding force. Generally, it is too weak to influence the physical properties of supramolecular systems. Herein we reported the first example exhibiting the impact of lone pair-π interactions on photochromic properties of naphthalene diimide based coordination networks. In three isostructural 1-D networks, [(DPNDI)ZnX2] (DPNDI = N,N-di(4-...
متن کاملFunctionalized polyoxometalates with intrinsic photochromic properties and their association with spiropyran cations.
The presence of alkylammonium groups covalently grafted on bisphosphonato ligands induces photochromic properties to ligand-coordinated polyoxomolybdate systems. Such intrinsically photoactive polyanions can be used for the preparation of materials combining photochromic polyoxometalates and functional countercations.
