Dithienylethenes containing the thiophene rings with benzothiazolyl substituents in position 2 were synthesized. 1,2-Bis]2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)benzothiophen-3-yl]hexafluorocyclopentene and 1,2-bis]2,5-di(benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-thienyl]hexafluorocyclopentene possess photochromic properties. The open forms of 1,2-bis(2-benzothiazolyhetaryl)ethenes fluoresce, but introduction of the benzothiazole rings into dihetarylethenes significantly lowers the fatigue resistance of photochromes and favors thermal reversibility.

systematic study of structural and conformational variations in a series of terarylene molecules designed for use as photohydride generators. This family of compounds have been shown to facilitate self-contained hydride release, without the need for external sources of hydrogen in a manner analogous to previously reported photoacidgenerators. A systematic analysis has been carried out on the effects of minor
