Steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectra, fluorescence decay kinetics of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QD) with photochromic diarylethenes (DAE) in toluene have been studied. Two kinds of QDs emitting at 525 and 600 nm were investigated and DAE were selected to ensure good overlap of their photoinduced absorption band with QDs emission spectra. It has been found that photochromic molecules form complexes with QD which results in partial fluorescence quenching. A reversible modulation of QDs emission intensity which correlates with magnitude of transient photoinduced absorption band of the diarylethenes during photochromic transformations has been demonstrated.
