Abstract
Near-infrared two-photon absorption and excited state dynamics of a fluorescent diarylethene (fDAE) derivative were investigated by time-resolved absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies. Prescreening with quantum chemical calculation predicted that a derivative with methylthienyl groups (mt-fDAE) in the closed-ring isomer has a two-photon absorption cross-section larger than 1000 GM, which was experimentally verified by Z-scan measurements and excitation power dependence in transient absorption. Comparison of transient absorption spectra under one-photon and simultaneous two-photon excitation conditions revealed that the closed-ring isomer of mt-fDAE populated into higher excited states deactivates following three pathways on a timescale of ca. 200 fs: (i) the cycloreversion reaction more efficient than that by the one-photon process, (ii) internal conversion into the S1 state, and (iii) relaxation into a lower state (S1' state) different from the S1 state. Time-resolved fluorescence measurements demonstrated that this S1' state is relaxed to the S1 state with the large emission probability. These findings obtained in the present work contribute to extension of the ON-OFF switching capability of fDAE to the biological window and application to super-resolution fluorescence imaging in a two-photon manner.

Abstract
A photochrmic triangle terthiophene dye with 2,4-dimethylthiazole attached was synthesized and shows regular photochromic properties when irradiated with UV/Vis light alternately. It was found that the attaching of 2,4-dimethylthiazole has a significant effect on both the photochromism and fluorescence of triangle terthiophene. During the photocyclizatioin prcess, not only the color but also the fluorescence of the dye in THF can be toggled between ring-open and ring-closed forms of the dye. Additionally, the absolute quantum yields (AQY) of ring-open and ring-closed forms of the dye (0.32/0.58) were greatly larger than the literature report. Along with the 254 nm light irradiation, the fluorescence color changed from deep blue (428 nm) to sky blue (486 nm) in THF. A fluorochromism cycle could be established based on the UV/visible light irradiation cycle, which provides a strategy for the design of new type fluorescent diarylethene derivatives for biological application.

Abstract
A photochromic dye was constructed by incorporation of a carbon-carbon triple bond spaced triangle terthiophene skeleton and hydroxyphenylbenzothiazole. Regular photochromic behavior was investigated with alternated UV (254 nm) and visible light (≥ 400 nm) irradiation. The color of dye in solution can be cycled between pink and colorless. Additionally, the dye solution strongly fluoresces in THF with the absolute quantum yield (QY) being 0.56. When irradiation with 254 nm light, the emissive solution can be effectively quenched to photo-stationary sate (Φ = 0.05). An emission "on-off" cycle could be established based on the UV/visible light irradiation cycle. The photochromic dye also exhibits good photo- and thermal-stability at room temperature. The emission decay profile indicates typical single component character with the fluorescence lifetime being 6.68 ns. The emission color was determined by the CIE 1931 coordinates of x = 0.14, y = 0.25 in the blue region.

Abstract
Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitch is a new and promising family of photochromic molecules and has shown superior performance as a smart trigger in stimulus-responsive materials. During the past few decades, the DAE family has achieved a leap from simple molecules to functional molecules and developed toward validity as a universal switching building block. In recent years, the introduction of DAE into an assembly system has been an attractive strategy that enables the photochromic behavior of the building blocks to be manifested at the level of the entire system, beyond the DAE unit itself. This assembly-based strategy will bring many unexpected results that promote the design and manufacture of a new generation of advanced materials. Here, recent advances in the design and fabrication of diarylethene as a trigger in materials science, chemistry, and biomedicine are reviewed.

Abstract
A new probe for precise and accurate bioimaging contributes significantly to advancing biomedical research for early disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Through wrapping a photochromic molecule (SP-Np-B) within a polymer nanoparticle, a new light-controlled multicolour fluorescence nanoprobe (Poly-SP-Np-B) is developed for precise fluorescence subcellular bioimaging. Poly-SP-Np-B shows an "OFF-ON" red-emitting fluorescence response upon alternate UV/Vis light irradiation. After activation by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a green-emitting Poly-SP-Np nanoparticle is generated, thus allowing light-controlled fluorescence response simultaneously, i.e., green and yellow switch upon alternate UV/Vis light irradiation for 10 and 20 s, respectively. Such a "blinking" fluorescence signal change is not possible by only using a photochromic molecule probe (SP-Np-B) with alternate UV/vis light irradiation for over 5 min. Poly-SP-Np-B has large isomerization kinetic constants (kSP-MR = 0.4543 s-1 and kMR-SP = 0.0809 s-1), excellent biocompatibility and lysosome distribution capability, enabling multicolour fluorescence imaging in live cells. With exo-/endogenous H2O2 activation in lysosomes, light-controlled "double-check" fluorescence imaging at the subcellular level is successfully achieved. More specifically, the change in fluorescence imaging is reversible in green, red and yellow channels in live cells upon excitation under alternate UV and visible light. This work thus provides a new strategy to develop switchable photochromic probes for precise fluorescence bioassay and bioimaging.

Abstract
Photoswitchable fluorescent diarylethenes are promisingly widely applied in the fields of optical memory, all-optical transistors, bioimaging, and super-resolution imaging, and so on. However, they face the problems of fluorescence quenching in an aggregated/solid state, the inadequate fluorescence ON/OFF switching ratio, and the necessity of UV-light irradiation. Herein, we report a novel kind of high-performance diarylethenes with aggregated-induced emission (AIE) by conjugating two diarylethene groups on one AIE-gen (i.e., TPE-2DTE (blue-green fluorescent) and OTPE-2DTE (orange fluorescence)). Their open forms show enhanced fluorescence in the aggregated and solid states. The closed form of TPE-2DTE/OTPE-2DTE was effectively generated upon short-wavelength visible-light (400 nm-450 nm) irradiation, whose fluorescence was dramatically quenched by intra- and inter-molecular energy transfer. Remarkably, 405 nm purple irradiation gives fluorescence ON/OFF ratios of 1196:1 and 1983:1 for TPE-2DTE and OTPE-2DTE, respectively. The reverse process can be accomplished after another longer wavelength irradiation such as 621 nm and shows considerable fatigue resistance. Taking advantage of superior photoswitching properties under visible-light irradiation, TPE-2DTE and OTPE-2DTE were used for super-resolution imaging with a high resolution of sub 50 nm. This work offers guidance to design bright-emitting and high-performance visible-light-controlled diarylethene photoswitches for practical applications.

Abstract
Simple structural modifications using oxidation and methylation of a quinoline-containing diarylethene result in dramatic variation of photophysical properties. Turn-on fluorescence, room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and red-green-blue (RGB) switching were achieved in three different related compounds. Photoswitchable diarylethenes (DAEs) that exhibit turn-on fluorescence are in high demand for super-resolution microscopy, and the development of purely organic phosphorescent materials in the amorphous state is attractive but challenging. The findings reported here provide a novel toolkit for designing turn-on fluorescence DAEs for super-resolution microscopy and extending the scope of amorphous RTP materials. More importantly, we bridge between these two fundamentally significant photochemical and photophysical phenomena, and reveal structure-property relationships between DAE photochromism and RTP.

Abstract
Diarylethene photochromes show promise for use in advanced organic electronic and photonic materials with burgeoning considerations for biological applications; however, these compounds typically require UV light for photoswitching in at least one direction, thus limiting their appeal. We here introduce a naphthoquinone-based diarylethene that switches between open and closed forms with visible light. The synthesis of this quinone diarylethene relies on Suzuki methodology, allowing for the inclusion of functional groups not otherwise accessible with current synthetic routes.

Abstract
Current development of light-responsive materials and technologies imposes an urgent demand on visible-light photoswitching on account of its mild excitation with high penetration ability and low photo-toxicity. However, complicated molecular design and laborious synthesis are often required for visible-light photoswitch, especially for diarylethenes. Worse still, a dilemma is encountered as the visible-light excitation of the diarylethene is often achieved at the expense of photochromic performances. To tackle these setbacks, we introduce a building-block design strategy to achieve all-visible-light photochromism with the triplet-sensitization mechanism. The simply designed diarylethene system is constructed by employing a sensitizer building-block with narrow singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST) to a diarylethene building-block. A significant improvement on the photochromic efficiency is obtained as well as an enhanced photo-fatigue resistance over those under UV irradiation. The balance between the visible-light excitation and decent photochromism is thus realized, promoting a guiding principle for the visible-light photochromism.

Single-crystal structure determination of asymmetric π-chromophoric bola-amphiphilic BAB1 (dodecyl and triethyleneglycolmonomethylether containing side chains of bis(anthracenylethynyl)benzene) supports J-aggregation. Further, a photochromic acceptor chromophore, 4,4'-(perfluorocyclopent-1-ene-1,2-diyl)bis(5-methylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde), is noncovalently encapsulated in the gel and photoswitching studies have been performed based on photochromic Förster resonance energy transfer. The modulated emission of the processable soft material is further exploited for rewritable display. However, BAB2 (dodecyl side chain on both sides) does not show gelation property due to its low solubility.

Abstract
Three novel types of naphthopyran derivatives containing alkoxyl and phenyl moieties, 13-butyl −6,11-dimethyl-3,3-diphenyl-3,13-dihydrobenzo[h]indeno[2,1-f]chromen-13-ol (NP), 13-butyl-3,3-bis(6-methoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-yl)-6,6-dimethyl-3,13-dihydrobenzo[h] indeno[2,1-f]chromen-13-ol (NP1) and 13-butyl-3,3-bis(6-methoxy-4′-naphthalenyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-yl)-6,11-dimenthyl-3,13-dihydrobenz[h]indeno[2,1-f]chromen-13-ol (NP2), were synthesised and characterised. Measurements indicated that they possessed an excellent photochromic response, a rapid thermal bleaching rate and good fatigue resistance. Meanwhile, the UV maximum absorption wavelengths of NP1 (562 nm) and NP2 (597 nm) appeared bathochromically shifted compared with NP (536 nm). The bleaching rate of NP1 was found to be approximately twice that of NP. The results indicated that the UV maximum absorption wavelength and bleaching rate increase with increasing length of the phenyl side chain moieties. In PMMA film, the compounds showed almost the same photochromic properties in the solid state as in dichloromethane solution. The UV absorbance with high-contrast switching in solid film could be beneficial for practical applications.

Abstract
The one- and two-photon cycloreversion reactions of a fluorescent diarylethene derivative with oxidized benzothiophene moieties were investigated by means of ultrafast laser spectroscopy. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy under the one-photon excitation condition revealed that the excited closed-ring isomer is simply deactivated into the initial ground state with a time constant of 2.6 ns without remarkable cycloreversion, the results of which are consistent with the very low cycloreversion reaction yield (<10-5) under steady-state light irradiation. On the other hand, an efficient cycloreversion reaction was observed under irradiation with a picosecond laser pulse at 532 nm. The excitation intensity dependence of the cycloreversion reaction indicates that a highly excited state attained by the stepwise two-photon absorption is responsible for the marked increase of the cycloreversion reaction, and the quantum yield at the highly excited state was estimated to be 0.018 from quantitative analysis, indicating that the reaction is enhanced by a factor of >1800.

Abstract
Diarylethene molecules showing photochromism and fluorescence properties in both open and closed forms, associated with two different emission colors, are very promising for applications involving ratiometric emissive photoswitches. We report here a complete study on the competition between the multiple photophysical processes involved in the excited states for two sulfone derivatives of benzothiophene-based diarylethene molecules, only differing by the substituent groups on their reactive carbon (methyl for DAE-Me and ethyl for DAE-Et). Steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy, combined with DFT and TD-DFT calculations, allow a complete determination of the kinetic constants leading to fluorescence and photoreaction pathways in different solvents, and enlighten the specific role of the substituent group in the photophysical properties due to a shielding effect against the solvation environment. The predominant role of the non-radiative deactivation processes in such a family of molecules is shown, and a tentative excited state mechanistic scheme is proposed based on femtosecond transient absorption experiments performed on the closed forms.

Abstract
Photoswitching and fluorescent properties of sulfone derivatives of 1,2-bis(2-alkyl-4-methyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene, 1–5, having methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, and i-butyl substituents at the reactive carbons (2- and 2′-positions) of the thiophene 1,1-dioxide rings were studied. Diarylethenes 1–5 underwent isomerization reactions between open-ring and closed-ring forms upon alternate irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) and visible light and showed fluorescence in the closed-ring forms. The alkyl substitution at the reactive carbons affects the fluorescent property of the closed-ring isomers. The closed-ring isomers 2b–5b with ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, and i-butyl substituents show higher fluorescence quantum yields than 1b with methyl substituents. In polar solvents, the fluorescence quantum yield of 1b markedly decreases, while 2b–5b maintain the relatively high fluorescence quantum yields. Although the cycloreversion quantum yields of the derivatives with methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and i-propyl substituents are quite low and in the order of 10−5, introduction of i-butyl substituents was found to increase the yield up to the order of 10−3. These results indicate that appropriate alkyl substitution at the reactive carbons is indispensable for properly controlling the photoswitching and fluorescent properties of the photoswitchable fluorescent diarylethenes, which are potentially applicable to super-resolution fluorescence microscopies.
