The title compound, C30H32N4, was synthesized by the photodimerization of trans-4-{2-[4-(di-methyl-amino)-phen-yl]ethen-yl}pyridine in benzene upon irradiation with UV light. This photodimer has a puckered cyclo-butane ring with the four aryl substituents in an r-1,t-2,c-3,t conformation. The puckering angle of the cyclo-butane ring is 32.22 (7)°, which is the largest among reported tetra-aryl-...

The title compound, C(23)H(30)ClN(5)O(3) (2+)·2Cl(-)·0.5H(2)O, was synthesized by N-alkyl-ation of 1-({[5-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-2-furan-yl]methyl-ene}amino)-2,4-imidazolidinedione with 1-bromo-4-chloro-butane, and N-methyl-piperazine. In the crystal, the cations, anions and water mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.

A Schiff base compound 6-amino-5-(((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylene)amino)-2-mercaptopyrimidin-4-ol (AHM) in acetonitrile solvent is found to show “OFF–ON type” mode upon addition of Al3+ ion and successfully applied for selective recognition ion. In this work, the reconsideration excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) twisted charge (TICT) has been explored detail based on den...
