Abstract
Diarylethenes having two nitronyl nitroxide radicals at both ends of the molecule with oligothiophene spacers were synthesized. The diradicals underwent photochromic reactions upon alternate irradiation with UV and visible light. ESR spectra of the diradicals reversibly changed with the photochromism. The magnetic interaction between spins through oligothiophene spacers was stronger than that through oligophenylene spacers, and the photochromic reactivity of the diradical diarylethenes with oligothiophene spacers was much reduced. The difference of the exchange interaction between open- and closed-ring form isomers was estimated to be more than 150-fold.Keywords
