Abstract

Photochromic dendrimer diarylethenes with a C-2-connected bisbenzothienylethene core were synthesized; the most notable feature of them is the strong memory effect of cyclizable conformation of the open form when generated from the closed form by visible light irradiation in polycarbonate films.
