A photochromic fluorescent switch in an organogel system with non-destructive readout ability

Abstract

A fluorescent organogel based on photochromic dithienylethene was obtained, whose optimal excitation wavelength (470 nm) results in little structural change of both open and closed isomers of diarylethene, thus presenting the first example of a fluorescent switch with non-destructive readout ability in the gel state.
