Abstract

Photochromic properties of the tilted compound could be easily tuned by simple oxidation of the peripheral pyridine groups by mCBPA. The mono- and bis-oxidized dithiazolylethenes were found to display both solution and single crystalline state photochromisms.

Graphical abstractSimple oxidation of the pyridyl moieties has great impacts on the main photochromic features of 1,2-bis[5′-methyl-2′-(2″-pyridyl)thiazolyl]perfluorocyclopentene.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
