3-(4-{3,3,4,4,5,5-Hexafluoro-2-[5-(3-methoxy­phen­yl)-2-methyl-3-thien­yl]cyclo­pent-1-en­yl}-5-methyl-2-thien­yl)benzonitrile

The title compound, C(29)H(19)F(6)NOS(2), 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).
