Andrea Peters,Neil R. Branda +1 more
TLDR
An unprecedented combination of photochromism and electrochromism is observed for two 1,2-bis(dithienyl)cyclopentene derivatives; the ring-opening reactions are photochemically driven while theRing-closing reactions can be triggered by electrochemical oxidation.About:

Reversible conductance switching of single diarylethenes on a gold surface
Nathalie Katsonis,Tibor Kudernac,Martin Walko,Sense Jan van der Molen,Bart J. van Wees,Ben L. Feringa +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, light-controlled conductance switching of diarylethenes attached to Au(111) is reported, and reversible switching in self-assembled monolayers is established by means of optical spectroscopy.

Two-Way Photoswitching Using One Type of Near-Infrared Light, Upconverting Nanoparticles, and Changing Only the Light Intensity
TL;DR: The "remote-control" photoswitching using NIR light is as equally effective as the direct switching with UV and visible light, albeit the reaction rates are slower.

Electrochemical Cyclization/Cycloreversion Reactions of Diarylethenes
TL;DR: Electrochemical oxidation of diarylethene derivatives induced cyclization or cycloreversion reactions, and the reaction mechanism was studied with CV, absorption spectra, and theoretical calculation.

Photoelectrochromic windows and displays
TL;DR: In this article, an electrochromic film and a photovoltaic film form the two electrodes of an electrochemical cell, and the resulting structure exhibits photochromism, but unlike conventional photochromic films, the light absorbing process (in the photovolastic film) is separate from the coloration process.

A new synthetic route to symmetrical photochromic diarylperfluorocyclopentenes
TL;DR: In this article, a photochromic diarylperfluorocyclopentene has been prepared by reaction of 3-lithio-5-chloro-2-methylthiophene with the ethyl ester of hexafluoroglutaric acid, followed by ring closure via a McMurry coupling.
