1,2-Bis[5-(4-cyanophenyl)-2-methyl-3-thienyl]-3,3,4,4,5,5-hexafluorocyclopent-1-ene: a photochromic diarylethene compound

The molecules of the title compound, C29H16F6N2S2, a photochromic dithienylethene with 4-cyanophenyl substituents, adopt an antiparallel arrangement that is reponsible for photoactivity. The molecule lies on a twofold rotation axis. The dihedral angle between the nearly planar cyclopentenyl and hete...
