Abstract:Series of photochromic 1,2-bis(thienyl)ethenes possessing perfluorocyclopentene backbones, either hydrogen or methyl groups at the β-positions of the thiophenes, and a variety of substituents in their α'-positions were prepared, which cover the range from electron-donating to electron-withdrawing (Me, À CH 2 OH, À OTBS, À TMS, À Br, 1,3-dioxan-2-yl, pyridin-4-yl, À CH 2 OH, À COOH). As a linear free energy relationship the spectroscopic Hammett equation gives fair to excellent fits to the excitation energy of … Show more
“…The value of the 1,3-dioxane-2-yl group was determined by us by application of the spectroscopic Hammett–Brown equation, as there is no constant available from the literature for this substituent. 27 As it can be seen from the UV/vis-spectra, the electron-withdrawing groups, e.g . –CHO, lead to a bathochromic shift and the electron-donating groups lead to a hypsochromic shift.…”

“…To understand the effect of the methoxymethyl groups we compared the spectrocopic data with those of the reference compound shown in Scheme 4 , which was prepared as described earlier. 27 Table 5 shows the quantum yields and the molar absorption coefficients. Comparing 15a and the reference BTE reveals that the MOM group increases the molar absorption coefficient ε A of the ring-opened form, whereas the quantum yields φ A,B decrease slightly.…”

“…Recently, we reported on linear free enthalpy relationships on applying the spectroscopic Hammett–Brown equation to correlate substituent effects and absorption maxima of BTEs. 9 In addition, we described BTEs which are part of prolonged push–pull-chromophors to induce bathochromic absorption maxima, 10 and BTEs with α/α′-MOM groups. 11 According to the literature several aspects should be considered on designing fatigue resistant BTEs for technical applications.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
