A photochromic diarylethene (1a) with three bis(thien-3-yl) systems, containing a 2,5-dihydrothiophene unit and two imidazole units, has been prepared. 1a shows selective photochromism: upon irradiation with 365 nm, one bis(thien-3-yl) system containing a 2,5-dihydrothiophene unit is selected to undergo photocyclization reaction to form ring-closed isomer 1b, the other two bis(thien-3-yl) systems containing imidazole units are photo-inactive. With 254 nm light irradiation, all three bis(thien-3-yl) systems undergo photocyclization reaction to produce ring-closed isomer 1c. Selective solvatochromism was also observed at a ring-closed state: only 1c showed solvatochromism, and the solvatochromism was dependent on the solvent donor numbers: with the increase of donor numbers of solvent, the absorption of 1c shifted to shorter wavelength.
一种具有三个双(噻吩-3-基)系统的光变色日记酮 (1a) 被制备出来,包含一个 2,5-二氢噻吩单元和两个咪唑单元。1a 显示出选择性光变色性:在365 nm照射下,其中一个包含2,5-二氢噻吩单元的双(噻吩-3-基)系统被选择进行光环化反应,形成环闭异构体 1b,而另外两个包含咪唑单元的双(噻吩-3-基)系统则不活跃。在254 nm光照射下,所有三个双(噻吩-3-基)系统都发生光环化反应,产生环闭异构体 1c。在环闭状态下还观察到了选择性溶剂变色性:只有 1c 显示出溶剂变色性,且该变色性依赖于溶剂的供体数量:随着溶剂供体数量的增加,1c 的吸收向更短波长偏移。
