-
- 2-methylthiophene of 25.4 g (0.258 mol) and acetic acid of 300 ml were poured into a four-necked flask having a capacity of 1000 ml, and then kept at a temperature of 0° C. with an ice bath. Secondly, bromine of 82.5 g (0.516 mol) was slowly dropped into them with a dropping funnel, and acetic acid of 20 ml was further added into them after the dropping, then the dropping funnel was washed. These ingredients were stirred for 30 minutes, while being kept at a temperature of 0° C. After that, the ice bath was removed and the ingredients were further stirred all night, while being warmed to a room temperature. The solution thus prepared was neutralized with sodium carbonate, added with a solution of sodium thiosulfate to perform ether extraction, washed with brine, and then dried with magnesium sulfate. The magnesium sulfate was removed by filtration after the drying and the ether was distilled off. The remainder was developed with hexane to separate a component of Rf=0.83 by making use of a silica gel chromatographic column.

The ether phase thus appeared was further extracted with 1.0 N sodium hydroxide solution. After that, the ether was removed, and then concentrated hydrochloric acid was added into the liquid phase until pH of the liquid phase corresponded to 1, while the liquid phase was kept 0° C., in order to separate the crystal. The crystal was filtered out by vacuum filtration and dried under reduced pressure, so that a compound (II-2) was obtained.

The solution thus prepared, then, was cooled down to a room temperature, applied with ether extraction, washed with a solution saturated with sodium hydrogen carbonate and water, and further dried with magnesium sulfate.

-
- A solution of 1.6N n-butylithium hexane of 36 ml was dropped into a solution of 12.9 g 2,5-dimethyl-3-iodothiophene (III-1) in xerotetrahydrofuran of 70 ml, while the solution was cooled at −70° C. by dry ice-methanol bath in an atmosphere of argon, the solution was stirred for one hour, and then 2.5 ml perfluorocyclopentene was dropped into the solution in three steps at intervals of 30 minutes. After being cooled with water, the mixed solution was warmed to a room temperature, and then the solvent was distilled off. The mixture, further, was extracted by ether, washed with brine, and then dried with magnesium sulfate. After that, the solvent was distilled off, and the remainder was developed by hexane by making use of a silica gel chromatographic column and recrystallized to isolate 1,2-bis(2,5-dimethyl-thiophene-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene (III). The yield of the compound (III) was 6.94 g, the rate of the yielding was 65%, and the results of NMR analysis were as follows:
-
- The single crystal (II-A) of the compound (II) was obtained from a solution of the compound (II) in hexane by the solvent evaporation method. The single crystal (II-A) was transparent and colorless. On the other hand, the closed-ring forms of the compound (II-A) were formed by irradiating the above hexane solution with ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 350 to 400 nm, and, among the resulted closed-ring forms, only the blue one was extracted by the column chromatography. The extracted closed-ring form was dissolved into the hexane solution again, and then the closed-ring single crystal (II-B) was obtained from this solution by the solvent evaporation method.
- The melting point of the open-ring form (II-A) was 139° C. and that of the closed-ring form (II-B) was 193° C. The melting point of the closed-ring form (II-B) went down to 130° C. when it was irradiated with visible light having a wavelength of 500 nm or less. On the other hand, when the open-ring form (II-A) was irradiated with ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 350 to 400 nm, its melting point went up to 193° C. The behavior of the melting point to irradiation of light is illustrated in FIG. 1a. This behavior of the melting point was almost the same as that of the mixture of both crystals (II-A) and (II-B) as shown in FIG. 1b.
- The closed-ring forms of the compound (III) were produced from a solution of compound (III) in hexane by irradiating the solution with ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 313 nm. Among the resulted closed-ring forms, only the red one (III-B) was extracted by the column chromatography. The extracted closed-ring form was dissolved in hexane again, and then the closed-ring single crystal (III-B) was obtained from this solution by a solvent evaporation method.
- When the closed-ring form (III-B) was irradiated with visible light having a wavelength of 450 nm or more at a room temperature for 30 minutes, its crystal melted. Furthermore, when the irradiation was continued on, the closed-ring form was recrystallized. It was thus apparent that the closed-ring form melted and recrystallized by irradiation of light.
- It was apparent also from FIGS. 1a and 1 b that the melting point of the compound varies depending on the mixing ratio of the open-ring form and the closed-ring form. The physical properties of the compound, such as the refractive index and the like, vary in cases that the compound is completely in liquid phase, completely in solid phase, or in solid-liquid mixed phase, and it is possible to take advantages of this feature of the compound to compose optical memory devices or display devices. For example, when the compound (II) which is composed fully of the open-ring form is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, while being kept at 135° C., so as to transform 15% of its component to the closed-ring form, the composition (mixture) becomes liquefied and changes in physical property, such as the refractive index and the permeability, from the original state. It is possible to take advantages of such changes of the physical properties of the compound to compose optical memory devices and display devices.
- Industrial Applicability
- Since the diheteroarylethene-based compound of the present invention reversibly changes in color with light irradiation and also changes in phase from the open-ring form in the crystalline state to the closed-ring form in the crystalline state, or from the closed-ring form in the crystalline state to the open-ring form in the crystalline state via the liquid state, the compound can be applicable to optical recording media, display panels, sensors, optical switch devices and the like, by taking advantages of its variations in color and also its changes in physical property, such as the refractive index and the permeability, with its changes in phase.
- When the compound in the liquid state or in the solid-liquid mixed state is to be used for such applications as above, it may be sealed in a glass cell which is divided in many rooms in a grid-like arrangement or in a stripe-like arrangement, or sealed in glass cells which are independent of each other.
