Silver (Ag) nanoparticles covered with a photochromic diarylethene derivative that has an anthracene unit were synthesized by Brust's method and their photochromic and fluorescent performance were studied by using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The diarylethene ligand showed a reversible photochromic reaction and the open-ring isomer emitted fluorescence (Φf = 0.009). On the surface of the Ag nanoparticles, the diarylethene showed normal reversible photochromic reactions; however, the conversion from the open- to the closed-ring isomer decreased from 81 to 16%. Besides, fluorescence from the anthracene unit was quenched to 7.6% of the unbound state. Quantum yield analysis showed that the cyclization reaction was efficiently quenched while the cycloreversion reaction was scarcely affected. The kinetic analysis on the excited states of the open- and the closed-ring isomers was carried out. The cycloreversion reaction was quenched by the Ag nanoparticles by the rate of 2.8 × 1010 s-1, while the qu...
