Abstract

Abstract:

Organic photochromic materials have attracted much considerable attention because of their potential promising applications in optical memory and molecular switching devices. Among the various photochromic systems, diarylethenes have broad applications in the photoelectric materials and biomedicine field due to their good thermal stability, excellent fatigue resistance, rapid response, and high sensitivity. In recent years, controllability optical chemical sensors based on diarylethenes have gradually became a hotspot in the field of functional material. This review summarizes the research progress of optical chemical sensors with multiple control function based on diarylethene as a optical control units, and the developing orientation for further research is also presented.

Key words: diarylethene, photochromism, optical switch, chemical sensors
