Four novel nonsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene compounds containing dithieno[3,2-b:2,3-d]thiophene units were designed and synthesized to investigate their photochromic properties. All these molecules adopt a photoactive antiparallel conformation in single crystals, as revealed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, and exhibit excellent photochromism in solution as well as in the crystalline phase.
