Gated photochromism of 1,2-diarylethenes

Kühni, Joël ; Belser, Peter

In: Organic Letters, 2007, vol. 9, no. 10, p. 1915 -1918

A dithienylethene derivative containing a cyclobutene-1,2-dione skeleton does not exhibit photochromic properties. However, when both ketone functions are protected with cyclic acetal groups, photochromic behavior is observed.

Synthesis of an unsymmetrically substituted, dithienylethene-containing 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and its ruthenium(ii) complex

Kühni, Joël ; Adamo, Vincent ; Belser, Peter

In: Synthesis, 2006, vol. 12, p. 1946-1948

The synthesis of an unsymmetrically substituted 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and its corresponding ruthenium(II) complex is reported. Suzuki coupling has been employed under different conditions to get the target ligand.
