Bisthienylethenes (BTEs) are one of the most promising families of photochromic compounds because of their fatigue resistance and thermally irreversible properties for use in optoelectronic devices such as ultrahigh-density optical data storage, molecular switches, logic gates, molecular wires, sensors, and so on. This article describes recent development of switchable photochromic bisthienylethene materials, especially multi-switchable bisthienylethene materials including multi-color photochromic materials, multi-switchable organogelators and liquid crystals. We also highlight our recent contributions in this field.
双噻吩乙烯（BTEs）是最具前景的光致变色化合物家族之一，因其具有抗疲劳性和热不可逆性，可用于诸如超高密度光数据存储、分子开关、逻辑门、分子导线、传感器等光电器件。本文描述了可切换光致变色双噻吩乙烯材料的最新进展，特别是多可切换双噻吩乙烯材料，包括多色光致变色材料、多可切换有机凝胶剂和液晶。我们还强调了我们在该领域的最新贡献。
