Achieving Enhanced Photochromic Properties of Diarylethene through Host-Guest Interaction in Aqueous Solution

Diarylethene (DTE) has been widely used in fluorescence probes, molecular logic gates, optical data-storage devices owing to the excellent photochromic property, while constructing high-performance photochromic DTE in aqueous media remains a big challenge. Herein we present several host-guest systems formed between cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n], n=7, 8, 10) and two water-soluble DTE derivatives 1 and 2 . It was found that host-guest interactions not only affect the photophysical properties of photochromic guests, but also make great differences on the photoreaction process. Different host-guest binding behaviors also lead to different effects on the photochromic properties of guests. In the presence of CB[n], both 1 and 2 showed enhanced emission and higher fluorescence quenching ratio at photostationary state. Besides, CB[10] ⋅1 exhibited faster response rate in cyclization reaction and better photofatigue resistance than free 1 in aqueous solution, while the supramolecular assembly of (CB[8])_n ⋅ ( 2 )_n showed slower response rate in both directions of the reversible photoreaction. Besides, the photofatigue resistance of 2 can be greatly improved through binding with CB[7]. Our results suggest that host-guest interactions could be an efficient way to improve photochromic properties of DTE in aqueous solution.

Photochromic Properties of New Dithienylethene Copolymer

Photochromic molecular switches can be important memory media for optical information processing and storage as long as their thermal stability and photo-fatigue resistance met certain criteria. Among many photochromic materials, heterocyclic diarylethenes have displayed desirable optical switching characteristics. Specifically, bisthienylethene (BTE)-based photochromic switches have demonstrated high sensitivity and rapid response as well as thermal- and photostability^[1,2]. It has been shown that various BTEs can undergo ca.l0^[4] cycles before significant evidence of fatigue^[3]. It is important that molecules with otherwise improved switching characteristics retain this level of fatigue resistance. For example, the improved characteristics include that the absorption of close form of photochromic materials should be shifted to shorter wavelength region due that semiconductor laser shift to short wavelength are developing trend for high density information storage. Also, fatigue may be different in the solid state than in solution. In general, precedent photochromic polymers consisted of photochromic molecules either dispersed in a matrix or covalent grafted onto the polymer main chain.
