The effect of the formyl group position upon asymmetric isomeric diarylethenes bearing a naphthalene moiety
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three new isomeric asymmetric diarylethenes with a naphthyl moiety and a formyl group at the para, meta or ortho position of the terminal benzene ring were synthesized. Their photochromism, fluorescent-switch, and electrochemical properties were investigated. Among these diarylethenes, the one with a formyl group at the ortho position of benzene displayed the largest molar absorption coefficients and fluorescence quantum yield. The cyclization quantum yields of these compounds increased in the order of para < ortho < meta, whereas their cycloreversion quantum yields decreased in the order of meta > para > ortho. Additionally, all of these diarylethenes functioned as effective fluorescent switches in both solution and PMMA films. Cyclic voltammograms proved that the formyl group and its position could effectively modulate the electrochemical behaviors of these diarylethene derivatives.

Structure and isomeric studies of 1,3-diaryl-H-benzo[f]chromene, catalyst effect or thermodynamic stability? An ab initio study
Two possible isomers of some 1,3-diaryl-H-benzo[f]chromene have been studied using density functional theory. Structures of E1 and E2 isomers were optimized at the B3LYP and MP2 levels with different basis sets. The total electronic energies show that E2 isomer is about 3-5 kcal/mol more stable than E1 isomer and this energy difference is attributed to the planarity of heterocyclic ring and mor...

متن کاملPhotoinduced color change and photomechanical effect of naphthalene diimides bearing alkylamine moieties in the solid state.
Photoinduced color change of naphthalene diimides (NDIs) bearing alkylamine moieties has been observed in the solid state. The color change is attributed to the generation of a NDI radical-anion species, which may be formed through a photoinduced electron-transfer process from the alkylamine moiety to the NDI. The photosensitivity of NDIs is highly dependent on the structures of the alkylamine ...

We report in this paper on the complete structure determination of the modified nucleotide A*, now called Ar(p), that was previously identified in yeast methionine initiator tRNA as an isomeric form of O-ribosyl-adenosine bearing an additional phosphoryl-monoester group on its ribose2 moiety. By using the chemical procedure of periodate oxidation and subsequent beta-elimination with cyclohexyla...

Background: Phosphoramides with -C(O)NHP(O)- skeleton has been taken into account by the many, due to their different applications in biochemistry and agriculture. They are used as acetylcolinestrase and ureas inhibitors due to the presence of a peptide group. On the other hand, the stereochemical and pharmacological properties of six-membered phosphorus-containing heterocycles and their active...
