In the development of modern high-performance photoelectric materials, the gated photochromic materials have attracted wide attention. However, the integration of varying signal regulations into gated photochromism to construct efficient photochromic materials is still an urgent necessity. Herein, we designed and synthesized a new gated photoswitching DTEP based on a Schiff base with a diarylethene core. The photochromic properties of compound DTEP can be regulated to different degrees by multiple stimuli, including UV/visible light, Cu and Ni. The compound DTEP showed different response abilities to Cu and Ni, due to the diverse complexation modes between DTEP and Cu as well as Ni. The photochromic properties of compound DTEP could be inhibited completely by the introduction of Cu to form a 1 : 1 complexation, while the weak gated photochromism could be found from the DTEP-Ni complex in a 1 : 2 stoichiometry. Relying on such varying degrees of gated photochromic properties, a new molecular logic circuit was constructed to undertake complicated logical operations.

Developing dithienylethene (DTE)-based fluorescence switches triggered by biocompatible visible light has always been a long-term goal in view of their potential in numerous biological scenarios. However, their practical availability is severely limited by the short visible light (generally less than 500 nm) required for photocyclization, their inability to achieve red or near-infrared emission, and their short fluorescence lifetimes. Herein, we present a novel DTE derivative featuring a dimethylamine-functionalized BF-curcuminoid moiety (NBDC) by using an "acceptor synergistic conjugation system" strategy.

Photochromic polymer is defined as a series of materials based on photochromic units in polymer chains, which produces reversible color changes under irradiation with a particular wavelength. Currently, as the research progresses, it shows increasing potential applications in various fields, such as anti-counterfeiting, information storage, super-resolution imaging, and logic gates. However, there is a paucity of published reviews on the topic of photochromic polymers.

Optical control is achieved on the excited state energy transfer between spatially separated donor and acceptor molecules, both coupled to the same optical mode of a cavity. The energy transfer occurs through the formed hybrid polaritons and can be switched on and off by means of ultraviolet and visible light. The control mechanism relies on a photochromic component used as donor, whose absorption and emission properties can be varied reversibly through light irradiation, whereas in-cavity hybridization with acceptors through polariton states enables a 6-fold enhancement of acceptor/donor contribution to the emission intensity with respect to a reference multilayer.
