Amphiphilic Diarylethene as a Photoswitchable Probe for Imaging Living Cells

Abstract: This communication reports a unique example of water-soluble and fluorescent-switchable amphiphilic diarylethene. This compound performs stable vesicle aggregation in water and shows aggregation-dependent emission in its open form. The fluorescence can be effectively switched by alternating between UV and visible light irradiation. This compound thus can stain KB cells for switchable living cell imaging with excellent resistance to fatigue.

“…Photochromic diarylethene compounds have received intense interest because of their potential applications in the area of optoelectronics such as optical recording, photo-switching, and full-color display devices [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Among the numerous reported photochromic compounds, diarylethene derivatives have been achieved much attention because of their outstanding fatigue resistance and thermally irreversible photochromic behavior [7][8][9].…”
