title: Near-infrared photochromic diarylethene iridium (III) complex.
abstract: A novel iridium complex, (Py-BTE)(2)Ir(acac), coordinating to the photochromic diarylethene derivative is prepared. This complex showed excellent near-infrared photochromic behaviors accompanied by efficient quenching of phosphorescence emission.
