Photochromism of a water-soluble vesicular [2.2]paracyclophane-bridged imidazole dimer.

چکیده
Here we report the first photochromism of a newly designed [2.2]paracyclophane-bridged imidazole dimer in water. The photochromic dye with a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic substituent forms vesicles in water and shows instantaneous colouration upon UV light irradiation and successive rapid fading in the dark.

A chiral BINOL-bridged imidazole dimer possessing sub-millisecond fast photochromism.
We developed a chiral 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol-bridged imidazole dimer possessing 100 μs fast photochromism and high fatigue resistance. It offers great opportunities for the practical applications to fast photoresponsive chiral dopants, invisible security materials and optical trigger molecules to induce the dynamic structural changes in biological matters.
متن کاملNanosecond photochromic molecular switching of a biphenyl-bridged imidazole dimer revealed by wide range transient absorption spectroscopy.
We demonstrate that a biphenyl-bridged imidazole dimer exhibits fast photochromism with a thermal recovery time constant of ∼100 ns, which is the fastest thermal back reaction in all reported imidazole dimers. Sub-ps transient absorption spectroscopy reveals that the generation process of the colored species occurs within 1 ps.
متن کاملChirality induction by E-Z Photoisomerization in [2,2]paracyclophane-bridged Azobenzene Dimer
We designed and synthesized a new prochiral molecule in which two azobenzene moieties were embedded in [2,2]paracyclophane and showed the chirality induction by E-Z photoisomerization. We also demonstrated the on/off switching of asymmetry by irradiation and reflux respectively.

A series of alpha,omega-bis donor substituted oligophenylenevinylene dimers held together by the [2.2]paracyclophane core were synthesized to probe how the number of repeat units and through-space delocalization influence two-photon absorption cross sections. Specifically, the paracyclophane molecules are tetra(4,7,12,15)-(4'-dihexylaminostyryl)[2.2]paracyclophane (3R(D)), tetra(4,7,12,15)-(4' ...
متن کاملPentaarylbiimidazole, PABI: an easily synthesized fast photochromic molecule with superior durability.
We report a new type of fast photochromic imidazole dimer, pentaarylbiimidazole (PABI), which shows a few μs fast photochromism with high fatigue resistance against light irradiation. PABI has an unusual spiroconjugated imidazoisoindole skeleton and its derivatives can be prepared by simple synthetic procedures.
