Abstract
Fluorescent photochromic materials collect strong interest for their capability of controlling fluorescence by photochromic conversion of materials. In particular fluorescent diarylethenes, which shows reversible change in fluorescence intensity with photochromic reaction, are useful for light probe and non-destructive optical readout system.1 Since diarylethene molecules do not show strong fluorescence (fluorescence quantum yields lower than 3 %), they have been modified by substituting a fluorescent chromophore such as anthracene, 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole, diphopyrines, or tungstene complex.2–4
