The application relates to the technical field of organic functional materials, and discloses a bis-
aryl semi-
indigo monomer, a functional
polymer film and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the bis-
aryl semi-
indigo monomer comprises the following steps: dissolving a
compound A and
sodium hydride in an
organic solvent, stirring and reacting to obtain a precursor solution; adding a
bromide compound containing R 9 to the precursor solution to perform an
alkylation reaction, then adding a saturated
ammonium chloride solution to quench the reaction, separating and collecting an organic phase; washing,
drying and concentrating the organic phase to obtain a crude product; purifying the crude product through
column chromatography, and then performing recrystallization to obtain the bis-
aryl semi-
indigo monomer. The application introduces a polymerizable functional group into a bis-aryl semi-indigo mother
nucleus structure to prepare a polymerizable bis-aryl semi-indigo monomer, the bis-aryl semi-indigo monomer has bidirectional visible
light response characteristics, can realize E / Z configuration reversible
isomerization under the driving of
green light and
red light dual visible light bands, and can realize rapid and reversible color change in the full visible light band.
