Diarylperfluorocyclopentenes having 2-isopropyl-5-phenylthiophene and 2-isopropyl-1-benzothiophene aryl groups underwent thermally reversible photochromism in solution. The photogenerated colored closed-ring isomers returned to the initial colorless open-ring isomers above 60 °C. The activation energies of the thermal cycloreversion were estimated to be 118 and 132 kJ/mol for the thiophene and benzothiophene derivatives, respectively.

Cyclization reactions of three diarylethene derivatives, 1,2-bis(2-methyl-3-benzothienyl)-perfluorocydopentene), and 2-bis2-isor (BTHex 1, (p opyl-3-perfluorocydopentene (BT), 1,2-bis(2-hexyl-3-benzothienyl)-benzothienyl)perfluorocydopentene (BTiPr), via their excited triplet states were studied by means of steady-state and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The excited triplet states of BT, BTHex, and BTiPr were generated by energy transfer from the photoexcited triplet states of sensitizers such as xanthone, phenanthrene, and pyrene. The single-step quantum yields of the cydization reactions from the excited triplet states of BT, BTHex, and BTiPr were determined to be 0.34, 0.53, and 0.65, respectively. The triplet energies of these three BTs were estimated to be 190-200 kJ mol(-1).
