Switching the Photochromic Activity of Acenaphthylene Derivatives through a Tandem Nucleophile‐Promoted Addition Reaction

New acenaphthylene‐based dithienylethenes have been prepared. Surprisingly they did not show photochromism. However, they readily underwent a tandem addition of a nucleophile and an electrophile, leading to a small library of dearomatized colourless analogues, which, on the contrary, were endowed with photochromic activity. In the absence of the electrophile, the intermediate obtained by C‐attack readily aromatizes to give, surprisingly, a final product of direct aromatic nucleophilic substitution, which was not photochromically active.

Dimers of 1,8a-Dihydro-1,8-Naphthyridine Derivatives as Models of Chiral Self-Recognition

A theoretical study of the dimer formation of chiral 1,8a-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine derivatives has been carried out by means of DFT calculations. In the cases treated, the heterochiral dimers (RS or SR) are always more stable than the homochiral ones (RR or SS). Two possible proton transfer processes have been studied, the concerted and the non-concerted ones. The non-concerted TS corresponds to a true TS while the concerted one presents two imaginary frequencies. The geometrical characteristics of the hydrogen bonds in all the structures calculated have been correlated using the Steiner–Limbach model.

蓝光萘酰亚胺发光材料的合成与表征

通过在4位引入不同芳香基团,采用Suzuki和Stille偶联反应,设计与合成了一系列新型1,8-萘酰亚胺类荧光染料,并研究了它们的紫外-可见吸收、荧光发射和电化学行为等光物理性质。这些化合物在甲苯中均发射蓝色荧光,最大吸收和荧光发射峰分别在357～378和423～451nm之间,且随着芳香基团供电性增强,吸收和荧光发射波长发生红移。芳香基团的结构对化合物的发光效率影响很大,其中,取代基为甲氧基苯的化合物具有最高的荧光量子效率,可达0.98,而取代基为噻吩的化合物荧光量子效率最低,只有0.17。电化学循环伏安研究表明该类化合物具有较高的电子亲合力,不同芳香基团的引入只影响化合物的被占分子轨道(HOMO)能级,而对化合物的最低空分子轨道(LUMO)能级没有影响,即LUMO能级由1,8-萘酰亚胺单元决定。     

Substituent Effects on the Photochromic Properties of Benzothiophene‐Based Derivatives

Five diarylethene photochromic derivatives, the structures of which incorporate a central benzothiophene unit, a left‐hand thiazole group, and a right‐hand benzothiophene group, have been prepared. The compound with a thiazole unit with no substituent on the reaction‐center carbon atom reveals an unprecedented transformation upon light irradiation. When the 4‐position of thiazole is protected by a methyl group, the compounds show high photosensitivity and photochromic properties. In this case, light irradiation affords new compounds with [5]helicene structures featuring the highest redshifted absorption maxima reported to date.     

Comparative Study of Photochromic Ferrocene‐Conjugated Dimethyldihydropyrene Derivatives

The photochemical properties and the mixed‐valence state of bis(ferrocenylethynyl)benzodimethyldihydropyrene ( 1 ) and other benzodimethyldihydropyrene (BzDHP) derivatives were investigated to understand the reversible photoswitching in the electronic communication of 1 . Absorption spectra of 1 were characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy and calculated by using time‐dependent density functional theory (TD‐DFT), and the d orbitals of the ferrocene (Fc) moieties were shown to contribute to the occupied valence orbitals that were responsible for the photochromic behavior. 1 exhibited reversible photoisomerization in THF; however, photochromic behavior was not observed in dichloromethane. Analysis of redox potentials showed that the mixed‐valence state of 1 was more stable in dichloromethane than in THF. This is consistent with the observation that chemical oxidation led to an intervalence charge‐transfer (IVCT) band between the Fc moieties in the mixed‐valence state of 1 in dichloromethane, whereas such a band was not observed for one‐electron‐oxidized 1 in THF. Bis(pentamethylferrocenylethynyl)benzodimethyldihydropyrene ( 2 ) did not show photochromic behavior even in THF. The mixed‐valence state of 2 was much less stable than that of 1 in dichloromethane, and no obvious IVCT band was observed for one‐electron‐oxidized 2 in dichloromethane. The difference in the redox contribution of Fc and pentamethylferrocene (Me₅Fc) to BzDHP played an important role for these redox and photochromic behaviors; this was supported by analysis of valence orbital energies from DFT calculations. Designing molecules that connect redox centers through the use of a photochromic linker with a redox potential close to that of the redox centers could constitute a useful approach for the production of photochromic redox‐active metal complexes with strong electronic communication.
