Abstract

Abstract Diarylethenes possess unique structural properties, which enabled them to find widespread applications in the field of photochromism. Nowadays, bisthienylcyclopentenes (BTCs) present the most popular subfamily of these compounds, which are widely used as P- type chromophores. This minireview summarises the main strategies for the synthesis of symmetrical and nonsymmetrical BTCs. In addition, attention is drawn to ...
