Photochromic materials, which undergo a structural transition upon light absorption such that their colour changes, are attractive materials from the point of view of optical applications. Here, a series of Dithienylperfluorocyclopentenes with high miscibility in standard nematics are presented and their electro-optic properties characterized.
