The invention belongs to the technical field of photochromic compounds, and particularly discloses a photochromic
diarylethene compound with full visible
light response as well as a preparation method and application of the photochromic
diarylethene compound. The compound is prepared by carrying out a
coupling reaction on 1, 2-dibromo-4-methoxyphenazine and a specific
boric acid ester compound (comprising one or more of 2-methyl-5-phenyl-
thiophene boric acid ester and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-
thiazole boric acid ester), and the compound is prepared by carrying out a
coupling reaction on the 1, 2-dibromo-4-methoxyphenazine and the specific boric acid ester compound (comprising one or more of 2-methyl-5-phenyl-
thiophene boric acid ester and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-
thiazole boric acid ester). The
diarylethene photochromic compound provided by the invention takes
phenazine as an
alkene bridge, can generate reversible
isomerization conversion between an open-loop body and a closed-loop body under
irradiation of specific visible light, and has reversible change along with properties such as color, absorption spectrum,
fluorescence spectrum and the like of the diarylethene photochromic compound. The invention also provides a preparation method of the compound. The method has the remarkable advantages of simplicity and convenience in operation, low
raw material cost, high product safety, easiness in separation and purification, facilitation of industrial production and the like.
