Abstract
The closed-ring isomer of 1,2-bis(5-methyl-2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)perfluorocyclopentene 1b was found to be extraordinarily thermally stable (t1/2 = 4.7 × 105 years at 30 °C), while the photochemical cycloreversion efficiency is similar to the dithienylethene closed-ring isomer of 1,2-bis(2-methyl-5-phenylthiophen-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene 2b.Keywords
