Photochromic Dithienylethene‐Containing Triarylborane Derivatives: Facile Approach to Modulate Photochromic Properties with Multi‐addressable Functions

A series of dithienylethene‐containing triarylboranes has been designed, synthesized, and characterized. The electrochemistry, photophysics, and photochromic behavior have also been studied. The photophysical and photochromic properties could be facilely tuned in this system by varying the thiophene spacers (thiophene, thienothiophene, and bithiophene) between the dithienylethene and the dimesitylboron (BMes₂) or the position of the BMes₂ substitution in the thiophene spacers. The absorption of closed form has been found to be more sensitive towards the structural modification upon incorporation of the BMes₂ unit. Moreover, multi‐addressable photochromic reactivity is obtained upon addition of Lewis base (F^?), which is due to the formation of boron–Lewis base adduct. The dependence of the photophysical and photochromic properties on the thiophene spacers and the position of the BMes₂ substitution has been further supported by computational studies.     

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.     

Photochromic properties of η6‐2H‐chromene chromium tricarbonyl complexes

In the 2H‐chromene series, complexation of the aromatic ring with chromium tricarbonyl, under thermal conditions, is totally regioselective even when aromatic substituents are introduced on the pyran ring. The complexation stabilizes the open form of these photochromic compounds and reduces the thermal bleaching kinetic constant. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Dependency of the Dimethyldihydropyrene Photochromic Properties on the Number of Pyridinium Electron-Withdrawing Groups

Photochromic dimethyldihydropyrenes substituted with electron-withdrawing pyridinium groups have shown an increase of photo-induced ring-opening efficiency and a light sensitivity that is red shifted relative to the unsubstituted compound. However, a recently synthesized tetrapyridinium derivative showed a considerable decrease of the photo-isomerization quantum yield relative to the monopyridinium and bispyridinium derivatives. We provide a rationale for this unexpected photochemical behavior based on the comparative theoretical investigations of the relevant excited states of these systems. In particular, we found that the nature and order of the lowest two excited states depend on the number of pyridinium groups and on the symmetry of the system. While the lowest S₁ excited state is photo-active in the monopyridinium and bispyridinium derivatives, the photo-isomerizing state is S₂ in the reference unsubstituted compound and both S₁ and S₂ lead to isomerization in the tetrapyridinium derivative, albeit with a low efficiency. In the latter derivative, the photo-isomerization is hindered by the particular S₁/S₂ conical intersection topology.     

Ferrocene‐Substituted Naphthalenediimide with Broad Absorption and Electron‐Transport Properties in the Segregated‐Stack Structure

A new naphthalenediimide (NDI) molecule, where two ferrocene (Fc) units were directly attached to both imide nitrogens ( Fc‐NDI‐Fc ), was synthesized. The Fc units provide high crystallinity to Fc‐NDI‐Fc with good solubility to conventional organic solvents. The Fc units also work as electron‐donating substituents, in contrast to the electron‐deficient NDI unit, resulting in broad charge‐transfer absorption of Fc‐NDI‐Fc from the UV region to 1500 nm in the solid state. The crystal structure analysis revealed that Fc‐NDI‐Fc formed a segregated‐stack structure. The DFT calculation based on the crystal structure showed that the NDI π‐orbitals extended over two axes. The extended π‐network of the NDI units led to the electron‐transport properties of Fc‐NDI‐Fc , which was confirmed using a flash‐photolysis time‐resolved microwave conductivity technique.     

Retro‐Brook Rearrangement of Ferrocene‐Derived Silyl Ethers

An intramolecular Li–Si exchange was observed on various lithiated ferrocenylbenzyl silyl ethers. The thermodynamically more stable C‐silylated isomers were isolated in good yields and fully characterized. The reaction mechanism of the [1,4] retro‐Brook rearrangement was investigated by DFT calculations. Two distinct reaction routes were proposed and a possible stabilization effect of the ferrocenyl fragment on the C‐silylated isomers was described. The diastereoselective rearrangement of the trimethylsilyl group to the ortho position of the ferrocenyl cyclopentadienyl ring was also accomplished and the absolute configuration of the product was determined.     

Synthesis of Ferrocene‐Branched Chitosan Derivatives: Redox Polysaccharides and their Application to Reagentless Enzyme‐Based Biosensors

Ferrocene‐branched chitosan derivatives (CHIT‐Fc) are synthesized by reductive N‐alkylation of chitosan with ferrocenecarboxaldehyde. The structures of the products are determined by ¹H NMR and FT‐IR spectra. CHIT‐Fc is used as a functionalized matrix to immobilize GOD on glassy carbon electrodes. Ferrocenyls in CHIT‐Fc exhibit an excellent redox activity and establish efficient electrical communication between GOD and the electrodes for the oxidation of glucose. The development of a reagentless glucose biosensor is described.

     

New Sol-Gel Photochromic Thin Films Made by Super-Fine Particles of Organic Photochromic Compounds

New photochromic thin gel films have been prepared by the dipping method from a sol-gel coating solution containing Malachite Green Leucocyanide soluble in sol and super-fine dispersed solution of spiropyran or spironaphthooxazine, which was effective to increase the concentration of photochromic compounds in gel film. Photochromism of these gel films is compared with that in sol under the conditions of acid catalysis. Though in sols using spiropyran and Malachite Green Leucocyanide normal photochromism was not observed, photochromism in thin gel films prepared from the same sol was confirmed. Normal photochromism of spironaphthooxazine in thin gel films was similar to that in solution. The reaction rate from the colored form to the spiro form of spiropyran and spironaphthooxazine in thin gel film is dependent on the gel matrix, which is influenced by the reaction time of the sol.     

Synthesis of Redox-Active Photochromic Phenanthrene Derivatives

A phenanthrene unit has been functionalized by several methylthiophene units in order to bring it a photochromic behavior. These compounds were characterized by NMR, absorption and emission spectroscopies, theoretical calculations as well as cyclic voltammetry. The association of a phenanthrene group with a photochromic center could open the door to a new generation of organic field-effect transistors.     

A Room-Temperature X-ray-Induced Photochromic Material for X-ray Detection

A color change: X-ray-induced photochromic species are rare and can be used for detection of X-rays. A highly robust X-ray-sensitive material with the discrete structure of a metal-organic complex has been found to show both soft and hard X-ray-induced photochromism at room temperature. A new ligand-to-ligand electron-transfer mechanism was proposed to elucidate this photochromic phenomenon.     

An Optic/Proton Dual‐Controlled Fluorescence Switch based on Novel Photochromic Bithienylethene Derivatives

A simple method for the synthesis of new bithienylethenes bearing a functional group on the cyclopentene moiety is developed. Three new photochromic compounds ( 4a , 4b , 4c ) have been successfully synthesized through this simple method, and exhibit good photochromic properties with alternate irradiation of ultraviolet and visible light. Furthermore, the ?uorescence of compound 4a , which bears a quinoline unit on the cyclopentene, can be modulated via optic and proton dual inputs. Upon excitation by 320 nm light, 4a emits a strong ?uorescence at 404 nm. After irradiation with 254 nm light, the emission intensity is reduced due to the ?uorescence resonance energy transfers (FRET) from quinoline unit to bithienylethene unit. Moreover, on addition of H⁺, the fluorescence is quenched completely due to the protonation of the quinoline. In addition, both the FRET and protonation process are reversible, which indicates a potential application in molecular switches and logic gates.     

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.     

Syntheses and Photophysical Properties of N‐Pyridylimidazol‐2‐ylidene Tetracyanoruthenates(II) and Photochromic Studies of Their Dithienylethene‐Containing Derivatives

A series of tetracyanoruthenate(II) with chelating pyridyl N‐heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHC‐py) was synthesized and characterized. Their photophysical and electrochemical properties as well as the photochromic behavior of their dithienylethene‐containing complexes were studied. Photocyclization was found to take place upon irradiation into the metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption bands of these complexes, and evidence is provided to support the triplet‐sensitizing reaction pathway.     

Enantiopure Ferrocene‐Based Planar‐Chiral Iridacycles: Stereospecific Control of Iridium‐Centred Chirality

Reaction of [IrCp*Cl₂]₂ with ferrocenylimines (Fc=NAr, Ar=Ph, p‐MeOC₆H₄) results in ferrocene C?H activation and the diastereoselective synthesis of half‐sandwich iridacycles of relative configuration S_p*,R_Ir*. Extension to (S)‐2‐ferrocenyl‐4‐(1‐methylethyl)oxazoline gave highly diastereoselective control over the new elements of planar chirality and metal‐based pseudo‐tetrahedral chirality, to give both neutral and cationic half‐sandwich iridacycles of absolute configuration S_c,S_p,R_Ir. Substitution reactions proceed with retention of configuration, with the planar chirality controlling the metal‐centred chirality through an iron–iridium interaction in the coordinatively unsaturated cationic intermediate.

The reaction of 2-hydroxy-3-(4,5-diphenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)-1-naphthaldehyde with 1,2,3,3-tetramethyl-3H-indolium perchlorate afforded photochromic spiro[indoline-2,3′-naphthopyran] containing a 4,5-diphenyloxazole group in position 5′ of the naphthopyran fragment. The merocyanine form of the spiropyran gave complexes with bivalent heavy cations.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
