  • Title: A Visible-Light-Responsive Fluorescent Diarylethene Having a Betaine Structure.
    Author: Nishimura R, Kaisho N, Morimoto M.
    Journal: Chemistry; 2024 Sep 11; ():e202403076. PubMed ID: 39258566.
    Abstract:
    As a new molecular scaffold of photoswitchable fluorophore, we developed a photochromic diarylethene containing a betaine structure based on pyridinium N-enolate. A facile reaction of a pyridyl-substituted dithienylperfluorocyclopentene derivative with octafluorocyclopentene constructed the betaine structure. The introduction of the betaine moiety provided the diarylethene molecule with bathochromically shifted optical absorption and fluorescing ability, thus enabling the molecule to function as a visible-light-responsive turn-off mode photoswitchable fluorophore. The molecule in the open-ring form emitted bright bluish green fluorescence. Upon irradiation with 405 nm light, the molecule underwent cyclization isomerization to form the closed-ring isomer and the fluorescence intensity significantly decreased. The turn-off mode fluorescence photoswitching was observed not only in solution but also in polymer films.
