Abstract

An original design of a fluorescent dithienylethene (DTE)-based bipyridine, where donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups are located on the same thiophene ring of the DTE unit, is reported; in non-polar solvents, UV or visible excitation triggers a photochromic reaction, disrupting the conjugation and quenching the fluorescence. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique 2009.
