McMurry reaction in the synthesis of photochromic dihetarylethenes

Application of the McMurry reaction in the synthesis of thermally stable photochromic dihetarylethenes is described. Hetaryl rings in the target molecules are connected to the double bond of the cycloalkenes or heterocycles formed upon the McMurry cyclization.
