Thermally Irreversible Photochromic Systems. Reversible Photocyclization of 1,2-Bis(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)ethene Derivatives

Thermally Irreversible Photochromic Systems. Reversible Photocyclization of... 1,2-Bis(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)ethene derivatives, which possess thermally irreversible and fatigue resistant photochromic properties, were synthesized, cis-1,2-Dicyano-1,2-bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)ethene 1a and 2,3-bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)maleic anhydride 2a underwent reversible photocyclization to produce red-colored closed-ring forms with λmax at 507 nm and 544 nm, respectively. The closed-ring forms were stable for more than 3 weeks at 80 °C. The coloration/decoloration (ring closure/opening)cycles were able to be repeated more than 104 times with keeping the adequate photochromic performance. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan Oxford University Press

Abstract

1,2-Bis(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)ethene derivatives, which possess thermally irreversible and fatigue resistant photochromic properties, were synthesized, cis-1,2-Dicyano-1,2-bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)ethene 1a and 2,3-bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)maleic anhydride 2a underwent reversible photocyclization to produce red-colored closed-ring forms with λmax at 507 nm and 544 nm, respectively. The closed-ring forms were stable for more than 3 weeks at 80 °C. The coloration/decoloration (ring closure/opening)cycles were able to be repeated more than 104 times with keeping the adequate photochromic performance.
