Five 4,4′-bithiazole-based tetraarylenes were prepared and their photochromic behavior investigated. With their 1,3,5,7-octatetraene photoreactive backbone, they offer not only more available sites for further functionalizations, but also a novel design principle for the development of a new class o...

Description
Summary:Five 4,4′-bithiazole-based tetraarylenes were prepared and their photochromic behavior investigated. With their 1,3,5,7-octatetraene photoreactive backbone, they offer not only more available sites for further functionalizations, but also a novel design principle for the development of a new class of biphotochromes. Tetraarylene-based photochromes offer more functionalizable sites and a new way to design biphotochromes.
