RESUMO

Three new unsymmetrical pyridine-containing diarylethenes with a variable peripheral heteroaryl unit were synthesized and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The substituent effects of variable heteroaryl groups on the photochromic and fluorescence properties were systematically discussed. Thienyl and thiazyl could effectively enhance the cyclization quantum yields and photoconversion ratios in the photostationary state, as compared to the phenyl group. However, they had no obvious effect on the fluorescence behaviors. Moreover, X-ray structural analysis revealed that the N···S heteroatom-contact interactions resulted in a higher cyclization quantum yield, which may be ascribed to the effective stabilizing ability on the photoreactive formations in diarylethenes with a thienyl/thiazyl unit.
