Photochromism of cis(z)-1,2-bispyrryl-substituted ethene derivatives

Photochromism of two bispyrryl-substituted ethenes, 2, 3-bis-(1-p-methoxyphenyl-5-phenyl-2-methyl-3-pyrryl)-2-butene (BPE1) and 2,3-bis(1-p-bromophenyl-4-phenyl-2-methyl-3-pyrryl)-2-butene (BPE2), was studied by laser flash photolysis technique. The results indicate that photocyclization of these compounds proceeds mainly via the excited triplet state, and the cis-trans isomerization proceeds mainly via the excited singlet state. After UV laser pulse irradiation, both photocylization and cis-trans isomerization of BPEl occur, but photocydization is the main reaction. On the other hand, laser photolysis of BPE2 leads mainly to photocydization. The effects of the substituents on the photochromic mechanism are also discussed.

Oxygen-containing gas-phase diatomic trications and tetracations: ReO(z+), NbO(z+) and HfO(z+) (z=3, 4)

Three oxygen-containing gas-phase diatomic trications ReO(3+), NbO(3+) and HfO(3+) as well as the diatomic tetracation NbO(4+) have been observed by mass spectrometry at non-integer m/z values. These unusual triply charged molecular ion species, together with the corresponding diatomic dications ReO(2+), NbO(2+) and HfO(2+), were produced by energetic, high-current oxygen ((16)O(-)) ion beam sputtering of rhenium, niobium and hafnium metal samples, respectively, whose surfaces were dynamically oxidized by oxygen primary ion incorporation. In addition, NbO(z+) (z≤ 4) were generated by intense femtosecond laser excitation and photofragmentation (Coulomb explosion) of Nb(x)O(y) clusters and were detected through Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (TOF). Our experimental results confirm previous reports on the detection of NbO(4+), NbO(3+), NbO(2+), HfO(3+) and HfO(2+) with Atom Probe mass spectrometry, whereas ReO(3+) and ReO(2+) apparently had not been observed before. In addition, these multiply charged molecular ions have been studied theoretically for the first time. Ab initio calculations of their electronic structures show that the diatomic trications ReO(3+), NbO(3+) and HfO(3+) are long-lived metastable gas-phase species, with bond lengths of 1.61 ?, 1.62 ? and 1.86 ?, respectively. They present large potential barriers with respect to dissociation of more than 2.7 eV. The corresponding diatomic dications are thermochemically stable molecules with very large dissociation energies (>3.5 eV). Our calculations predict the diatomic tetracation ReO(4+) to be a metastable ion species in the gas phase. We compute a potential barrier toward fragmentation of 0.6 eV; its formation requires a quadruple adiabatic ionization energy of 85.7 eV. Even though our calculations show that NbO(4+) is a weakly bound (dissociation barrier ～0.1 eV) metastable molecule, it is here identified via linear time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
