چکیده

The synthesis and characterization of a series of fluorescent bis-dithienylethene (DTE)-based bipyridines, where the donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups are located on the same thiophene ring of the DTE unit, and their zinc(II) and rhenium(I) complexes are reported. Their photochromic properties have been investigated by UV-visible and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. These studies reveal that in non-polar solvents it is possible to modulate the photoreactivity, single vs. double ring-closure, by changing the nature of the donor group. The solvent effect, as well as the influence of the organometallic moieties on the photochromic behavior of these molecules, is also discussed. Finally, upon photoconversion to the photostationary state (PSS), a quenching of fluorescence is observed for the bipyridine ligands, due to disruption of the conjugation upon ring-closing.

Tunable double photochromism of a family of bis-DTE bipyridine ligands and their dipolar Zn complexes.

The photoinduced ring-closure/ring-opening reactions of a series of bis-dithienylethene derivatives, as free ligands and Zn(II)-complexes, are investigated by resorting to theoretical (time-dependent density functional theory) and kinetic analyses in solution. The originality of the system stems from the tunability of the photoreaction quantum yields and conversion yields as a function of the e...

A ‘‘reverse interrupter’’: the novel molecular design of a fluorescent photochromic DTE-based bipyridinew

Fluorescent switching systems containing photochromic molecules have attracted significant attention on account of their potential uses as optical memory media and photoswitchable devices. Most systems offering the photomodulation of luminescence involve a photochrome covalently linked to an organic or metal–organic fluorophore, wherein the luminescence is regulated by an intramolecular energy ...

1D Chains of Lanthanoid Ions and a Dithienylethene Ligand Showing Slow Relaxation of the Magnetization

Three isostructural 1D lanthanoid complexes with the general formula {[Ln2(DTE)(HDTE)(MeOH)2] ̈ 2H2O}n (Ln = Tb, Dy, and Yb; DTE = 1,2-bis(5-carboxyl-2-methyl-3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene) were synthesized. In the 1D chain structure of each complex, lanthanide ions are seven coordinate with a capped trigonal prism geometry. The 1,2-bis(5-carboxyl-2-methyl3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene (DTE...

Highly efficient modulation of FRET in an orthogonally arranged BODIPY–DTE dyad

The photoswitchable boron-dipyrromethene-dithienylethene molecular dyad is introduced as a prototype for the efficient fluorescence intensity modulation on the molecular level. The functionality of the system is based on the photochromism of the dithienylethene, which facilitates an efficient on- and off-switching of a Förster-type intramolecular energy transfer between the photoexcited BODIPY ...

Photochromism of dithienylethene single crystals having anthracene substituents.

Three dithienylethene derivatives having anthracene substituents (connected at 1-, 2- and 9-positions) were prepared. Although these three derivatives exhibit photochromic reactivity in solution, only one of the derivatives (connected at 2-position) undergoes the photochromic reaction in the crystalline phase. X-Ray crystallographic analysis and DFT calculation revealed that conformation of the...
