Photochromic materials have been widely used in various areas including data encryption,
biological imaging and anti-counterfeiting because of their excellent contrast …

For a long time, starting from pioneering works of M. Irie in the late 80 s and early 90 s of the
last century, photochromic diarylethenes were primarily associated with dithienylethenes …

The construction of artificial chiral self-assembled systems has evolved to be one of the most
attractive topics within supramolecular chemistry and materials science. However, stimuli …

Endowing both solvent independency and excellent thermal bistability, the benzobis
(thiadiazole)‐bridged diarylethene system provides an efficient approach to realize …

The photochemistry as well as electrochemistry of novel donor–acceptor bis
(morpholinothiazolyl)–maleimides has been investigated. Proper substitution of these …

The self-assembly of a quadruple-stranded Eu (III) helicate induces the conformation
transformation of a DAE-based photochromic ligand from parallel to antiparallel, which …

The 1950s and 1960s represent a significant period for photochromic compounds, with the
advent of technologies and methods enabling their investigations, especially spectroscopy …

Multifunctional switches, as well as gated photochromism, are particularly challenging. Here,
a ferrocene (Fc)‐modified photochromic diarylethene (DAE) with sterically hindered ethene …

There is incessant interest in the transfer of common chemical processes from organic
solvents to water, which is vital for the development of bioinspired and green chemical …

Photochromic diarylethenes (DAEs) based on the unsymmetrical ethene “bridge” bearing
heterocycles of the different nature (oxazole and thiophene) as aromatic moieties have been …
