چکیده
Through comprehensive photo-assays, this study investigates the reaction coordinate governing interconversion between quadricyclane (QC) and norbornadiene (NBD) upon photo-irradiation up to a wavelength of 550 nm. To harness this...

Ultrafast structural and isomerization dynamics in the Rydberg-exited quadricyclane: norbornadiene system.
The quadricyclane-norbornadiene system is an important model for the isomerization dynamics between highly strained molecules. In a breakthrough observation for a polyatomic molecular system of that complexity, we follow the photoionization from Rydberg states in the time-domain to derive a measure for the time-dependent structural dynamics and the time-evolving structural dispersion even while...
متن کاملEffect of Ring Strain on the Charge Transport of a Robust Norbornadiene–Quadricyclane-Based Molecular Photoswitch
Integrating functional molecules into single-molecule devices is a key step toward the realization of future computing machines based on the smallest possible components. In this context, photoswitching molecules that can make a transition between high and low conductivity in response to light are attractive candidates. Here we present the synthesis and conductance properties of a new type of r...
متن کاملCatalysis of the Quadricyclane to Norbornadiene Rearrangement by SnCl2 and CuSO4
Ab initio and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to investigate the model rearrangements of quadricyclane to norbornadiene catalysed by single CuSO4 and SnCl2 molecules. The isolated reactions with the two molecular catalysts proceed via electron-transfer catalysis in which the hydrocarbon is oxidised, in contrast to systems investigated previously in which the substrat...
متن کاملRh(III)-Photosensitized Interconversion of Norbornadiene and Quadricyclane
The utility of two Rh(III) diimine complexes, Rh(phen)3 and Rh(phi)2(phen) (phen ) 1,10-phenanthroline, phi ) 9,10-phenanthrenequinone diimine), as sensitizers for the interconversion of norbornadiene (N) and quadricyclane (Q) has been investigated using steady-state photochemical and laser flash photolysis (LFP) techniques. Irradiation of acetonitrile solutions of Rh(phen)3 and N causes slow c...
متن کاملComparative Ab-Initio Study of Substituted Norbornadiene-Quadricyclane Compounds for Solar Thermal Storage
Molecular photoswitches that are capable of storing solar energy, so-called molecular solar thermal storage systems, are interesting candidates for future renewable energy applications. In this context, substituted norbornadiene-quadricyclane systems have received renewed interest due to recent advances in their synthesis. The optical, thermodynamic, and kinetic properties of these systems can ...
