Density functional theory study of the styrylbenzoquinoline dyad and the related dibenzoquinolylcyclobutane formed in the [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reaction

The structure and electronic properties of the biphotochromic dyad with two styrylbenzo[f]quinoline photochromes, as well as the corresponding cyclobutane with two benzo[f]quinoline (BQ) substituents, are studied by DFT at the M06-2X/6-31G* level, the cyclobutane being a product of the [2 + 2] photocycloaddition (PCA) reaction of the dyad. According to calculations, the dyad forms π-stacked folded conformers, which, when excited, can form excimers that are precursors of cyclobutane. TD DFT calculations and natural transition orbital (NTO) analysis indicated that the lowest singlet excited S₁ state in the dyad is localized on the SBQ photochrome, including the ethylene group that undergoes PCA. Thus, the conditions for concerted electrocyclic reactions are satisfied, and the direct PCA follows the Woodward–Hoffmann rules. In contrast, in cyclobutane, the S₁ state is localized on the BQ substituent rather than on the cyclobutane core. Therefore, the reverse ring-opening (retro-PCA) reaction cannot follow the Woodward-Hoffmann rules and inevitably involves a step of excitation energy transfer from BQ to cyclobutane, which means the predissociation mechanism.     

2-Naphthyl(carbomethoxy)carbene revisited: combination of ultrafast UV-vis and infrared spectroscopic study

Ultrafast laser flash photolysis (310 nm) of methyl 2-napthyldiazoacetate (2-NpCN2CO2CH3) in acetonitrile or cyclohexane produces a diazo excited state which absorbs broadly in the visible region (tau = 300 fs). The decay of the excited diazo compound is accompanied by growth of the vibrationally excited singlet 2-naphthyl(carbomethoxy)carbene ((1)NpCCO2CH3). The singlet carbene absorbs at 360 and 470 nm. In acetonitrile these bands do not decay over 3 ns, but they do decay by approximately 50% of their original intensity in cyclohexane in 3 ns. It is concluded that (1)NpCCO2CH3 has a singlet ground state in acetonitrile but a triplet ground state in cyclohexane. Related experiments reveal a singlet ground state in Freon-113 and chloroform. This interpretation is supported by ultrafast IR spectroscopy, which confirms that only (1)NpCCO2CH3 is formed within 50 ps of the laser pulse rather than a singlet-triplet equilibrium mixture of carbene. The planar singlet relaxes to the preferred perpendicular singlet over a few tens of picoseconds, as evidenced by a red shift of the carbonyl stretching vibration. Although our data agrees with previous studies, its interpretation is somewhat altered.     

RELATIVE REACTIVITIES OF THE EXCITED STATES OF FUROCOUMARINS FOR [2+2] PHOTOCYCLOADDITION REACTION WITH TETRAMETHYLETHYLENE

Abstract— The Stern-Volmer constants for fluorescence quenching by tetramethylethylene decrease in the order DMC ≫ DHP > F-2 > 8-MOP. The same order was observed for the quantum yields of [2+2] cycloaddition reaction with tetramethylethylene on direct irradiation. In [2+2] photocycloaddition of F-2 with tetramethylethylene in ethanol, the ratio of quantum yields deduced from singlet and triplet states of F-2; φ₃⁰/φ₁⁰, is about 5. The excited triplet state is the reactive state for the [2+2] photocycloaddition of F-2 with tetramethylethylene in solution but the excited singlet state of F-2 becomes very important in biological conditions.     

Photocycloaddition of Some Difluoro(aminoenonato)boron Complexes with Arylalkenes

The photocycloaddition of some difluoro[(methylamino‐κN)alkenonato‐κO]boron complexes 1 with arylalkenes 2 is discussed. The resulting [2+2] photoaddition gave the cyclobutane and azetidine derivatives (Schemes 1, 3, and 5). Rearrangements of the cyclobutane gave 1,5‐diketones derivatives (Schemes 2, 4, and 5). The yields of the photoadducts were governed by the reduction and oxidation potentials. Furthermore, the configurations of the products established high regio‐ and stereoselectivity, suggesting the presence of a singlet exciplex. The reactivity and the stereochemistry were rationalized by means of FMO (frontier molecular orbital) calculations.     

Visible-Light-Mediated Heterocycle Functionalization via Geometrically Interrupted [2+2] Cycloaddition

The [2+2] photocycloaddition is the most valuable and intensively investigated photochemical process. Here we demonstrate that irradiation of N-acryloyl heterocycles with blue LED light (440 nm) in the presence of an Ir^III complex leads to efficient and high yielding fused γ-lactam formation across a range of substituted heterocycles. Quantum calculations show that the reaction proceeds via cyclization in the triplet excited state to yield a 1,4-diradical; intersystem crossing leads preferentially to the closed shell singlet zwitterion. This is geometrically restricted from undergoing recombination to yield a cyclobutane by the planarity of the amide substituent. A prototropic shift leads to the observed bicyclic products in what can be viewed as an interrupted [2+2] cycloaddition.     

Involvement of excited triplet state in the photodissociation of cyclobutane

The potential energy curves (PECs) of the ground state and the low‐lying excited states for the photodissociation of cyclobutane have been calculated at the multi‐reference configuration interaction with singlet and doublet excitation (MRCISD) and the multi‐reference second order perturbation theory (MRPT2). Firstly, the PECs are constructed following a reaction path determined by semiclassical dynamics simulation, which suggests that the lowest triplet state of tetramethylene is involved in the photodissociation of cyclobutane. Then, the adiabatic PECs are calculated for the breaking processes of C1? C3 and C2? C4 bond respectively. The singlet‐triplet PECs' intersections have been found in the two breaking C? C bond processes. During the breaking process of the second C2? C4 bond, a local minimum has been found on the PEC of the lowest triplet state, which gives us some insight to reinterpret the experimental observed diradical intermediate as being trapped in its triplet state. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Repair of a Dimeric Azetidine Related to the Thymine–Cytosine (6‐4) Photoproduct by Electron Transfer Photoreduction

Photolyases are intriguing enzymes that take advantage of sunlight to restore lesions like cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers or (6‐4) photoproducts. This work focused on the photoreductive process responsible for splitting of the azetidine ring proposed to occur during (6‐4) photoproduct repair at a thymine–cytosine sequence. A model compound formed by photocycloaddition between thymine and 6‐azauracil has been designed to mimic the elusive azetidine intermediate. The photoinduced electron transfer process has been investigated by means of steady‐state and time‐resolved fluorescence using photosensitizers with oxidation potentials in the singlet excited state ranging from ?3.3 to ?2.1 V vs. SCE. Azetidine ring splitting and recovery of “repaired” bases were proven by HPLC analysis.     

The exo‐Outstretching Effect Governing the Exclusive Stereoselectivity of the Intramolecular [2+2] Photocycloaddition of Vinylarenes

Intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of a dimeric vinylpyridine 1 through a singlet‐excited species efficiently formed the corresponding syn‐ and anti‐pyridinophanes 2 and 3 . The syn‐isomers were elucidated spectroscopically and by X‐ray crystallography as exo,syn‐configured. The high selectivity under formation of exo,syn‐ 2 was thoroughly investigated. Consequently, an exo‐outstretching effect, which is observed around the periphery of a face‐to‐face‐oriented system between two aromatic nuclei as a transition state, on cyclobutane ring formation was discovered for the first time.     

Molecular dynamics and metadynamics simulations of [2 + 2] photocycloaddition

Triplet state mechanism of [2 + 2] photocycloaddition forming a cyclobutane ring from two ethylenes is investigated in the context of photocatalysis. High‐level ab initio calculations are combined with ab initio adiabatic molecular dynamics and ab initio metadynamics for rare events modeling. In a photocatalytic scheme, a reactant reaches the triplet state either via intersystem crossing (ISC) or triplet sensitization. The model system adopts a biradical structure, which represents energy intersection with the ground state. The system either completes cyclization or undergoes fragmentation into two olefinic units. The potential and free energy surfaces of the cyclobutane/ethylenes system are mapped with multireference approaches describing possible reaction pathways. To obtain a full picture of a double bond photoreactivity, ab initio adiabatic dynamical calculations were used to estimate reaction yields and to model the effects of excess energy. The potential use of density functional theory based approaches for [2 + 2] photocycloaddition was investigated for future simulations and design of realistic photocatalytic systems. Dynamical aspects of [2 + 2] photocycloaddition via a triplet state manifold are investigated by combining ab initio multireference methods and ab initio molecular dynamics and metadynamics. The reaction pathways are studied for a model system of two ethylenes forming a cyclobutane ring to provide a basis for further studies on design of photocatalytic systems.     

CASSCF and CASPT2 studies on the structures, transition energies, and dipole moments of ground and excited states for azulene

The electronic structure of azulene molecule has been studied. We have obtained the optimized structures of ground and singlet excited states by using the complete active space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) method, and calculated vertical and 0-0 transition energies between the ground and excited states with second-order M?ller-Plesset perturbation theory (CASPT2). The CASPT2 calculations indicate that the bond-equalized C(2v) structure is more stable than the bond-alternating C(s) structure in the ground state. For a physical understanding of electronic structure change from C(2v) to C(s), we have performed the CASSCF calculations of Duschinsky matrix describing mixing of the b(2) vibrational mode between the ground (1A(1)) and the first excited (1B(2)) states based on the Kekule-crossing model. The CASPT2 0-0 transition energies are in fairly good agreement with experimental results within 0.1-0.3 eV. The CASSCF oscillator strengths between the ground and excited states are calculated and compared with experimental data. Furthermore, we have calculated the CASPT2 dipole moments of ground and excited states, which show good agreement with experimental values.
