Stimulus-responsive materials are fundamental to the broad and ever-growing field of intelligence research, which bridge intelligent systems with Internet Things (IoT) in future lifestyles. Among these materials, writable have received great interest; however, carbonization irreversible writing processes generally inevitable for extensively investigated organic compounds. Photochromism is a pot...

Three symmetrical and unsymmetrical trans-dithienylethenes functionalized with pyridines and fluorenes have been synthesized by a facile one-pot procedure, and their characteristics and photochromism were investigated. Their fluorescent intensity was efficiently regulated by a photochromic switch using alternative irradiation with UV light and visible light. Moreover, by protonation and complex...

Thiophene-S,S-dioxidized diarylethenes introducing bulky substituents at the reactive positions were newly synthesized. The diarylethenes showed reversible photochromism, whereas the photocycloreversion reaction was suppressed by thiophene-oxidation. The diarylethene closed-ring isomers having secondary alkyl groups at the reactive positions were found to undergo thermal bleaching reactions whi...

For the first time, proton complexes of photoinduced colored form chromene have been obtained in polymer binders. It is shown that UV irradiation photochromic leads to spectral changes due structure compounds and nature binder. Keywords: photochromism, chromene, naphthopyran, matrix, spectroscopy.
