Characterization of A New Organic Photochromic Compound

A new organic photochromic compound, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-fluoro)-benzal-5-pyrazolone ethanyl-thiosemicarbazone (PM4FBP-ETSC) was found to undergo photochromic reactions in the solid state. Upon irradiation with 365nm light the white powder sample turned light yellow. The photochromic properties were characterized by the time-dependent UV-vis reflective spectra. The structure of PM4FBP-ETSC was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

A new photochromic 8pi-system based on an azaheptatriene-tetrahydroazepinoisoquinoline electrocyclization

A new photochromic family of tetrahydroazepinoisoquinolines (THAI) 4a-i has been prepared. It undergoes light-induced ring opening from spiro compounds 4 to betaines 3 that decolorize in a very fast cyclizing reaction. Depending on substitution of the precursors 1 and 6, the photochromic styryltetrahydroindolizines (THI) 5k-q are formed in a periselective way. The conformation and configuration of the new photochromic THAI 4 and THI 5 were investigated by NMR and the structure of both compounds was proven by X-ray analysis. The photochromic properties were studied by laser flash photolysis, which afforded the lifetime of the colored form 3 and 3' in the micro- or nanosecond range.

Synthesis and properties of photochromic liquid-crystalline polyacrylates containing a spirooxazine group

The novel photochromic liquid-crystalline polyacrylates containing a spirooxazine group were synthesized. The photochromic polymer containing (4-penta- methyleneoxy)biphenylene moiety at the 5-position of spironaphthoxazine showed nematic phase from 122.9 to 133.8°C. The photochromic polymer containing undeca- methylene instead of pentamethylene showed smectic phase from 93.1 to 169.7°C. On the other hand, the photochromic polymer containing both undecamethylene as a spacer and spironaphthoxazine-bound biphenylene moiety at 9′-position did not show any liquid crystallinity. All spirooxazine-containing liquid-crystalline polymers showed photochromism in the solid state at room temperature. Because the shape of the absorption spectra of the photochromic quenched liquid-crystalline polymer films was almost the same as those of the photochromic amorphous polymer films, the photochromic properties did not depend on the mesophase in the polymers examined. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The effect of addition of fluorescent moieties to dihydropyrenes: enhancing photochromicity and fluorescence monitoring

A series of dihydropyrenes with appending fluorescent moieties were synthesized with the objective of increasing the photochromic efficiency for this class of compounds and to establish how suitable fluorescence would be to follow their photochromic behavior. The ring opening quantum yields of dihydropyrenes with aroyl substituents at the 4-position showed increased ring opening quantum yields without a decrease of the half-life for the thermal reversion of the less stable open isomer, the metacyclophanediene to the dihydropyrene. The fluorescence of the appending naphthoyl or pyrenoyl moieties was not suitable to follow the photochromic cycling of the dihydropyrenes. However, the emission detected above 600 nm of the closed isomer of the dihydropyrene moiety was shown to be a good monitoring method for the photochromic cycling.

Control of the photoreactivity of diarylethene derivatives by quaternarization of the pyridylethynyl group

Photochromic behavior of diarylethene derivatives with (4-pyridyl)ethynyl group directly attached to the 6-pi hexatriene moieties of the diarylethenes was investigated. Upon quaternarization of the pyridine moieties, the photoreactivity was strongly suppressed. On the other hand, diarylethene derivatives with nonconjugated (4-pyridyl)ethyl group exhibited the photochromic reactivity, regardless of whether pyridyl rings are quaternarized or not. In the case of the (4-pyridyl)ethynyl-substituted compounds, the photochromic reactivity was suppressed by the addition of trifluoroacetic acid and was restored by diethylamine.

An intra- and intermolecular proton-transfer mechanism is proposed.     

Crystal structure and photochromism of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzyl-5-one-pyrazole S-methyl thiosemicarbazone

A new organic photochromic compound containing pyrazolone-ring photochromic functional unit: 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzyl-5-one pyrazole S-methyl thiosemicarbazone (PMBP-smtsc) was synthesized.

The crystal structure analyses of photocolored product show the photochromism is due to the photoisomerization from enol form to keto form through an intermolecular proton transfer.

The reaction rate constant of compound was also analyzed. The results show that DP4FBP-ETSC can perform photochromism.

Preparation and Properties of Electrospun Sheath-core Modified-PMMA Nanofibers with Photoluminescence and Photochromic Functions

Multi-functional nanofibers are playing an important role in the optical field, and are widely used in fluorescence indication, product anti-counterfeit identification and smart clothing. Nanofibers with photoluminescence and photochromic functions are already attracting more interest from researchers. In this work, based on electrospun technology, the modified-PMMA nanofibers[PMMA=poly(methyl methacrylate)] with photoluminescence and photochromic functions were prepared through the design of the sheath-core structure(SCNFs 1-4). Compared with other samples, SCNF-4 shows outstanding photoluminescence and photochromic functions. SCNF-4 can produce green light and its fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime can reach 7144 a.u. and 1031.32 μs, respectively. In photochromic functions, SCNF-4 can show purple in 1 min under the 365 nm ultraviolet light, and the color can be preserved for more than 4 h under the sunlight. When SCNF-4 is irradiated by far infrared light, the color of the samples can fade quickly in 40 s. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet light of different wavelengths, SCNF-4 can display multi-color fluorescence and achieve a reversible transition between white and purple. The design of the sheath-core structure realizes the complementarity of photoluminescence and photochromic functions of the electrospun modified-PMMA nanofibers, which is important to promote the wide application of multi-functional nanofibers in the optical field.

磺酸功能化的离子液体型多金属氧酸盐的光色性能

发现磺酸功能化离子液体型多金属氧酸盐(IL-POM)具有可逆光色性质,并在紫外光激发下,详细考察了[PyPS]_nH_3-nPW₁₂(n=1,3)(PyPs:吡啶丙磺酸盐)、[PyPS]₄SiW₁₂、[TEAPS]₃PW₁₂(TEAPS:3-(三乙胺基)丙磺酸盐)等样品的光致变色行为。 结果表明,磺酸化的IL-POM是一类弱的电荷转移多金属氧酸盐,但在紫外光激发下有机阳离子和POM阴离子间可以发生电子相互作用,实现W⁶⁺→W⁵⁺的还原,并形成稳定的电荷转移复合物,导致样品显色。 钨磷酸盐的光色性大大强于钨硅酸盐,且空气中避光放置可以消色。 但样品容易疲劳,着色-褪色重复性不好。 对光色机理的研究显示,有机阳离子中的-SO₃H基团作为电子供体参与了变色过程。 揭示了磺酸基团的电子供体作用,为设计电荷转移多金属氧酸盐和POM基光色材料提供了新的思路。

Preparation and photochromic properties of pyrazolones/polyvinyl alcohol composite films

Novel photochromic composite films have been successfully fabricated by dispersing pyrazolone derivative:1,3-Diphenyl-4-(3-chlorobenzal)-5-hydroxypyrazole 4-phenylsemicarbazone (1a) into hydrosol of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The microstructure, photochromic behaviors and thermal bleaching properties were investigated by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis). The results showed that 1a was not only blended but also well dispersed in the PVA polymer films with a suitable content of chromophore. Upon UV light irradiation, the composite films gradually changed from colorless to yellow and recovered fully to the initial state upon thermal bleaching. The time constants of photochromic reactions were almost the same as those of 1a observed in their crystalline state, indicating that the photochromic phenomenon is barely disturbed by the polymer matrix.
