The title compound, C43H32F6N2S2, is a new symmetrical photochromic diarylethene derivative with 9-ethylcarbazol-3-yl substituents. The molecule adopts a photoactive antiparallel conformation [Irie (2000). Chem. Rev. 100, 1685–1716; Kobatake et al. (2002). Chem. Commun. pp. 2804–2805], with a dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two thiophene rings of 56.23 (6)°. The distance between the two reactive C atoms is 3.497 (3) Å. In the crystal, two molecules are associated through a pair of C—H⋯F intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming a centrosymmetric dimer. Dimers are linked by weak π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8872 (13) Å], forming chains along the c axis.

The title compound, (I), was prepared by the treatment of 3-bromo-5-(9-ethylcarbazolyl)-2-methylthiophene with butyl lithium, then with octafluorocyclopentene. The product was recrystallized from benzene-hexane to give plate crystals, m.p. 458–460 K; 1H NMR (CDCl3, p.p.m. 400 MHz): 1.45 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, 6H, Et), 2.05 (s, 6H, CH3), 4.38 (q, J = 7.2 Hz, 4H, Et), 7.20–7.24 (m, 2H, carbazole), 7.32 (s, 2H, thiophene). 7.39–7.43 (m, 2H, carbazole), 7.47–7.52 (m, 2H, carbazole), 7.67 (dd, J = 7.8 Hz, J' = 1.6 Hz, 2H, carbazole), 8.11 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 2H, carbazole), 8.25 (d, J = 1.6 Hz, 2H, carbazole); HRMS(FAB): calculated for C43H32F6N2S2: 754.1911, found(M+): 754.1908.
All H atoms bound to C atoms were placed at idealized positions and refined as a riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.97Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) [1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms]. Structure was refined with unique reflections and with a cut-off sigma = 2.00.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt). |

Diarylethenes are well known photochromic compounds both in solution and in solid state (Irie, 2000), and have attracted much attention because of their potential application to optical memory, photoswitches (Irie, et al. 2001), and display devices (Takami & Irie, 2004). It was reported that diarylethenes can undergo a photochemical ring-closure reaction in the crystalline phase when the ring-opening forms are in the anti-parallel conformation and where the distance between two reactive C atoms is shorter than 4.2 Å (Irie, et al. 1995; Kobatake, et al. 2002). Therefore, X-ray analysis of diarylethenes will give valuable information for their photochromism in solid state. We have prepared the title compound, (I), a symmetrical diarylethene derivative containing carbazole moiety as hole transport material (Grigalevicius, 2006) to study not only its photochromism but also its electrical properties. In this paper, the molecular and crystal structure of (I) is presented.
In the molecular structure of (I), the thiophene rings are located in a photoactive anti-parallel conformation which can effectively undergo photocyclization reactions; with the dihedral angle between the mean planes of two thiophene rings, S1/C6–C9 and S2/C26–C28, of 56.23 (6) ° (Fig. 1). The dihedral angles between the thiophene rings and adjacent carbazole moieties are 23.49 (5) ° for S1/C6–C9 and N1/C11–C22, and 23.19 (5) ° for S2/C26–C28 and N2/C30–C41. The distance between two reactive C atoms in ring-closure reaction, C7···C28, is 3.497 (3) Å. This distance is shorter than 4.2 Å, suggesting that (I) can undergo the ring-closure reaction and photochromism in the crystalline phase by UV irradiation.
In the crystal structure of (I), there are intermolecular C—H···F hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Table 1). Two molecules are associated through a pair of C—H···F intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming a centrosymmetric dimer with a R22(14) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). In the crystal, intermolecular C···C distances between carbazole moieties for C30···C36ii and C34···C34ii [symmetry code: (ii) 1 - x, 2 - y, 2 - z] are 3.657 (3) and 3.659 (3) Å, respectively. Dimers are linked by weak π–π interactions between carbazole moieties to give one-dimensional supramolecular chains propagating along the c axis.
