Visible‐Light‐Responsive Reversible Photoacid Based on a Metastable Carbanion

A new photoacid that reversibly changes from a weak to a strong acid under visible light was designed and synthesized. Irradiation generated a metastable state with high C?H acidity due to high stability of a trifluoromethyl‐phenyl‐tricyano‐furan (CF₃PhTCF) carbanion. This long‐lived metastable state allows a large proton concentration to be reversibly produced with moderate light intensity. Reversible pH change of about one unit was demonstrated by using a 0.1 mM solution of the photoacid in 95 % ethanol. The quantum yield was calculated to be as high as 0.24. Kinetics of the reverse process can be fitted well to a second‐order‐rate equation with k=9.78×10² M ^?1 s^?1. Response to visible light, high quantum yield, good reversibility, large photoinduced proton concentration under moderate light intensity, and good compatibility with organic media make this photoacid a promising material for macroscopic control of proton‐transfer processes in organic systems.

Highly Axial Magnetic Anisotropy in a N3O5 Dysprosium(III) Coordination Environment Generated by a Merocyanine Ligand

A spiropyran‐based switchable ligand isomerizes upon reaction with lanthanide(III) precursors to generate complexes with an unusual N₃O₅ coordination sphere. The air‐stable dysprosium(III) complex shows a hysteresis loop at 2 K and a very strong axial magnetic anisotropy generated by the merocyanine phenolate donor.

DFT modeling of indoline spiropyrans with a cationic substituent in the gas phase

Isomeric forms of indoline spiropyrans show unusual behavior compared with similar compounds, according to experimental data. DFT modeling for gas phase was made to consider the simplest case without environmental effects, which revealed the intramolecular reasons for occurrence of ring opening reaction depending on the particular structure of the compound. The questions of charge redistributions, the changes of geometry and chemical bonds in the structures are also discussed.

Femtosecond pump-probe measurements of solvation by hydrogen-bonding interactions.

An additional ultrafast blue shift in the transient absorption spectra of hydrogen-bonding complexes of a strong photoacid, 8-hydroxypyrene 1,3,6-trisdimethylsulfonamide (HPTA), over the solvation response of the uncomplexed HPTA and also over that of the methoxy derivative of the photoacid (MPTA) in the presence of the hydrogen-bonding base was observed on optical excitation of the photoacid. The additional 55 +/- 10 fs solvation response was found to be about 35 % and 19% of the total C(t) of HPTA in dichloromethane (DCM) when it was hydrogen-bonded to dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and dioxane, respectively, and about 29% of the total C(t) of HPTA in dichloroethane (DCE) when it was hydrogen-bonded to DMSO. We have assigned this additional dynamic spectral shift to a transient change in the hydrogen bond (O-H...O) that links HPTA to the complexing base, after the electronic excitation of the photoacid.
