Three novel dithienylethenes modified by bifluoroboron β-diketonate fragments have been successfully developed. Upon blue light irradiation, they reached photostationary state within 2–5 s, as well as 100% conversion ratio and photocyclization quantum yield of > 0.70. Such fascinating photochromism were endowed by collaborative role of electron-withdrawing effect of BF₂bdk group to reduce HOMO-LUMO electronic gap for the open isomer, together with intramolecular hydrogen bonds and CH-π interactions favoring antiparallel conformation fixation. Moreover, they displayed specific discrimination and photoswitchable bacterial imaging for S. aureus.
