Abstract: | Photochromic behavior of diarylethene derivatives with (4-pyridyl)ethynyl group directly attached to the 6-pi hexatriene moieties of the diarylethenes was investigated. Upon quaternarization of the pyridine moieties, the photoreactivity was strongly suppressed. On the other hand, diarylethene derivatives with nonconjugated (4-pyridyl)ethyl group exhibited the photochromic reactivity, regardless of whether pyridyl rings are quaternarized or not. In the case of the (4-pyridyl)ethynyl-substituted compounds, the photochromic reactivity was suppressed by the addition of trifluoroacetic acid and was restored by diethylamine. |
