Diarylethene compounds are potential candidates for applications in optical memory storage systems and photoswitchable molecular devices; however, they usually show low photocycloreversion quantum yields, which result in ineffective erasure processes. Here, we present the first highly efficient photochromic silole-containing dithienylethene with excellent thermal stability and fatigue resistance. The photochemical quantum yields for photocyclization and photocycloreversion of the compound are found to be high and comparable to each other; the latter of which is rarely found in diarylethene compounds. These would give rise to highly efficient photoswitchable material with effective writing and erasure processes. Incorporation of the silole moiety as a photochromic dithienylethene backbone also was demonstrated to enhance the thermal stability of the closed form, in which the thermal backward reaction to the open form was found to be negligible even at 100 °C, which leads to a promising candidate for use as photoswitchable materials and optical memory storage.

In one embodiment, provided are a new class of diarylethene-containing photochromic compounds with the incorporation of silicon-or phosphorus-containing heterocycles into the "ethene" part of the diarylethene backbone that has been shown to be capable of displaying tunable, robust and thermally stable photochromic properties. Also provided are methods for synthesizing these compounds, as well as uses of these compounds as these compounds may be used as the photochromic layer in an optical recording material and other optical functioning devices.

Fluorination of thiophenedicarboxylic acid with sulfur tetrafluoride in the presence of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride provided mono and bis(trifluoromethyl)thiophenes in moderate yields.Ethynylthiophenes and ethynylfurans containing trifluoromethyl groups were prepared via 2,2-dichloro-1-fluorovinyl compounds.In polymerizations using transitions metal catalysts, 3-ethynylthiophenes gave polymers in high yields, which were soluble in THF and/or fluorocompounds, while 2-ethynylthiophenes polymerized in low yields.In γ-ray induced polymerization, only 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-3-ethynylthiophene afforded the corresponding polymers.Thermal decomposition temperatures of polymers obtained increased by introduction of the trifluoromethyl groups as well as the methyl groups.
