Abstract

Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel diarylethene derivative, which has benzo[b]selenophene groups as the aryl units, and its photochromic properties. The derivative exhibited a unique turn-on mode fluorescence photoswitching along with photochromic reactions in solution as well as in solid powder states.
