Electrochemical cyclization/cycloreversion reactions of a diarylethene, 1,2-bis(3-methyl-2-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene, are examined experimentally by electron spin resonance (ESR) and absorption spectra. To understand the ESR spectrum, the hyperfine coupling constants are calculated by the density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP exchange-correlation functional. The averaged values of the hyperfine coupling constants are approximated by imposing the C(2) symmetry on the structure of the diarylethene. We found that the spectral width of the ESR is significantly different between the open- and closed-ring isomers. This is due to the difference in the pi-conjugation between two isomers. The ESR spectral width analysis could, thus, be used to identify the isomerization of the radical species, which involve the change of the pi-conjugation. The experimentally observed spectrum is found to be the mixture of the open- and closed-ring isomers of the diarylethene. The excitation energies of the cationic diarylethenes are further identified by the SAC-CI calculations.
