A photochromic diarylethene derivative having hexa(ethylene glycol) side chains connected by an amide group was synthesized and the thermo‐ and the photoresponsive behavior was investigated. The cloud‐point temperature was varied in a controlled manner over a range of 23 to 45 °C by irradiation with the appropriate wavelength of light (see figure).
