title: Photosalient Effect of a Diarylethene with a Perfluorocyclohexene Ring.
abstract: Crystals of a diarylethene with a perfluorocyclohexene ring exhibit a remarkable photosalient effect upon UV light irradiation that is attributed to the structural changes that occur when going from open- to closed-ring isomers in the crystalline state, together with the existence of two conformers with different photoconversions compared with those of a perfluorocyclopentene derivative. Our current results give a design principle for molecular structures so as to achieve the photosalient effect for photochromic crystals.
