Abstract: The title compound, C₂₉H₁₉F₆NOS₂, is a new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene derivative with different meta-phenyl substituents. The distance between the two reactive (i.e. can be irradiated to form a new chemical bond) C atoms is 3.501 (4) Å; the dihedral angles between the mean plane of the main central cyclopentene ring and the thiophene rings are 47.7 (5) and 45.1 (2)°, and those between the thiophene rings and the adjacent benzene rings are 29.4 (2) and 28.4 (3)°. The three C atoms and the F atoms of hexafuorocyclopentene ring are disordered over two positions, with site-occupancy factors of 0.751 (4) and 0.249 (4).
