Photochromism due to organometallic ring-closure through CC linkage has not been attained ever before. In this work, we report an initial approach to achieve T-type photochromism by creating metallacyclopentadiene biradical under light irradiation. A class of CuPt 2 phenylacetylide compounds were prepared with distinguished photochromic recyclability and durability, which involve the formation of thermally sensitive copper(I)-butadienyl five-membered ring through copper(I)participated ring-closure. Upon UV light irradiation, metallacyclopentadiene with copper(I) center chelated by 1,3-butadiene-1,4-diyl biradical is generated through photochemical C-C linkage of two face-to-face oriented ethynyl units in close proximity, which gives rise to a drastic change in UV-Vis absorption spectrum. When UV light irradiation is ceased, decoloration occurs through thermal cycloreversion, which endows photochromic CuPt 2 complexes with self-recovery characteristics.Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectral study confirms a biradical feature of the ring-closed isomer. The thermal decoloration half-lives at ambient temperature are regulated from seconds to hours by increasing F substituents in phenylethynyl ligands.
