Organic photochromic materials have received considerable attention because of their potential for photonic applications, especially for fast and high density data storage. In 2000, Chemical Reviews published a special issue on photochromic materials including a review about the properties and applications of diarylethene photochromic compounds. Since then much impressive progress has been made in this area. Various new diarylethene derivatives have been prepared and examined. The tutorial review presented herein describes developments in diarylethene-based molecular switches made in the last three years. In addition, the synthetic aspects of diarylethene photochromic compounds, which are important issues and neglected in most previous reviews, have been included.
有机光致变色材料因其在光子学应用方面的潜力，特别是在快速和高密度数据存储方面的潜力，而受到了广泛关注。2000年，《化学评论》发表了一期关于光致变色材料的特刊，其中包括一篇关于二芳基乙烯光致变色化合物的性质和应用的综述。从那时起，该领域取得了许多令人瞩目的进展。已经制备并研究了各种新型二芳基乙烯衍生物。本文给出的专题综述描述了过去三年中二芳基乙烯基分子开关的发展情况。此外，还包括了二芳基乙烯光致变色化合物的合成方面内容，这是大多数先前综述中重要但被忽视的问题。
