Photochromism of Diarylethenes with Intralocking Arms
A new type of photochromic compounds, diarylethenes with heterocyclic rings, has been developed for optical data storage media. Attention was focused to design and synthesize photochromic compounds with sensitivity at diode laser wavelengths and gated photochemical reactivity.
