A photochrmic triangle terthiophene dye with 2,4-dimethylthiazole attached showed regular photochromic properties under UV/Vis light irradiation alternately. The attachment of 2,4-dimethylthiazole significantly influenced both the photochromism and fluorescence of the dye. The dye could switch between ring-open and ring-closed forms, altering both color and fluorescence, during the photocyclization process in THF.
A photochrmic triangle terthiophene dye with 2,4-dimethylthiazole attached was synthesized and shows regular photochromic properties when irradiated with UV/Vis light alternately. It was found that the attaching of 2,4-dimethylthiazole has a significant effect on both the photochromism and fluorescence of triangle terthiophene. During the photocyclizatioin prcess, not only the color but also the fluorescence of the dye in THF can be toggled between ring-open and ring-closed forms of the dye. Additionally, the absolute quantum yields (AQY) of ring-open and ring-closed forms of the dye (0.32/0.58) were greatly larger than the literature report. Along with the 254 nm light irradiation, the fluorescence color changed from deep blue (428 nm) to sky blue (486 nm) in THF. A fluorochromism cycle could be established based on the UV/visible light irradiation cycle, which provides a strategy for the design of new type fluorescent diarylethene derivatives for biological application.
