  • Title: Reactivity-gated photochromism of 1,2-dithienylethenes for potential use in dosimetry applications.
    Author: Lemieux V, Branda NR.
    Journal: Org Lett; 2005 Jul 07; 7(14):2969-72. PubMed ID: 15987182.
    Abstract:
    [reaction: see text] A novel molecular switching system based on reactivity-gated photochromism operates because a butadiene undergoes a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with a dienophile to produce the photoresponsive 1,2-dithienylethene backbone. The reversible change in color when samples are irradiated with appropriate wavelengths of light occurs only after the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction takes place.
