Photodimerization of acenaphthylene within a nanocapsule: excited state lifetime dependent dimer selectivity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct excitation of acenaphthylene molecules included in a syn fashion within the octa acid nanocapsule dimerizes quantitatively to a syn dimer, and upon triplet sensitization, yields both syn and anti dimers probably by reacting within and outside the capsule.

Crystallographic observation of an olefin photodimerization reaction that takes place via thermal molecular tumbling within a self-assembled host.
In situ crystallography reveals that the solid state [2 + 2] photodimerization of acenaphthylene in a coordination cage takes place smoothly without preorganizaiton of reaction centers at a preferred geometry, because the substrate tumbles thermally in the large hollow of the cage.
متن کاملTopochemical control of the photodimerization of aromatic compounds by γ-cyclodextrin thioethers in aqueous solution
The formation of soluble 1:2 complexes within hydrophilic γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) thioethers allows to perform photodimerizations of aromatic guests under controlled, homogenous reaction conditions. The quantum yields for unsubstituted anthracene, acenaphthylene, and coumarin complexed in these γ-CD thioethers were found to be up to 10 times higher than in the non-complexed state. The configurati...
متن کاملApplications of a bis-urea phenylethynylene self-assembled nanoreactor for [2 + 2] photodimerizations.
Confined environments can be used to alter the selectivity of a reaction by influencing the organization of the reactants, altering the mobility of trapped molecules, facilitating one reaction pathway or selectively stabilizing the products. This manuscript utilizes a series of potentially photoreactive guests to interrogate the utility of the one-dimensional nanochannels of a porous host to ab...
متن کاملHydrogels as reaction vessels: acenaphthylene dimerization in hydrogels derived from bile acid analogues.
Many chemical reactions which are otherwise clean often lead to the formation of multiple products. Such products may be formed due to a lack of chemo-, regio- and/or stereoselectivity. For such reactions to be useful, one should be able to control them to yield a single desired product. Of the many approaches used in this context, the use of reaction media with features different from those of...
متن کاملEfficient deactivation of a model base pair via excited-state hydrogen transfer.
We present experimental and theoretical evidence for an excited-state deactivation mechanism specific to hydrogen-bonded aromatic dimers, which may account, in part, for the photostability of the Watson-Crick base pairs in DNA. Femtosecond time-resolved mass spectroscopy of 2-aminopyridine clusters reveals an excited-state lifetime of 65 +/- 10 picoseconds for the near-planar hydrogen-bonded di...
