Abstract

Photochromic dithienylethenes have been extensively investigated because of their striking features and potential uses in molecular devices, optoelectronic equipment, memory media, etc. Many photochromic dithienylethenes and their derivatives have been so far synthesized and their excellent performances have been examined. Dithienylethene, incorporating phthalocyanine hybrids and their analogs, is one of the most important types among these photochromic compounds. In this review, the molecular design and the general methods of preparation of photochromic dithienylethene–phthalocyanine hybrids and their analogs are highlighted. Their versatile performances are described.
