Irradiation of an acetonitrile solution containing dimethylbis(4-vinylphenylmethyl)silane 1a in the presence of 9,10-dicyanoanthracene leads to formation of the intramolecular photocycloadduct, 2-sila-cyclobuta[2.3]cyclophane(2a). In contrast, prolonged irradiation gave insoluble polymeric material. The photocycloreversion of 2a occurs efficiently (quantum yields exceeds unity) by use of redox-type photosensitization in the presence of magnesium perchlorate. The transient absorption spectra generated by pulse radiolysis and gamma-radiolysis show that the radical cation species generated from 1a is different from that arising from 2a.

Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations have been employed to investigate the molecular structures and absorption spectra of three D-${\pi}$-A-type organic dyes (C1-1, D5 and TH208) containing identical ${\pi}$-spacers and electron acceptors, but different aromatic amine electron-donating groups (tetrahydroquinoline, triphenylamine and phenothiazine). The coplanar geometries indicate that the strong conjugation is formed in the dyes. The electronic structures suggest that the intramolecular charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor occurs, and the electron-donating ability of tetrahydroquinoline is stronger than those of triphenylamine and phenothiazine. The computed orbital energy levels of these dyes confirm that the electrons could be injected from the excited dyes to the semiconductor conduction band and the oxidized dyes could be reduced effectively by electrolyte. The TD-DFT results show that the CAM-B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) is suitable for calculating the absorption spectra. The first absorption band for these dyes is assigned to the HOMO${\rightarrow}$LUMO and HOMO-1${\rightarrow}$LUMO transitions.

This study explored a direct SET-photochemical strategy to construct a new family of thioene conjugated-naphthalamide fluorophore based lariat-crown ethers which show strong binding properties towards heavy metal ions. Irradiations of designed nitrogen branched (trimethylsilyl)methylthio-terminated polyethylenoxy-tethered naphthalimides in acidic methanol solutions have led to highly efficient photocyclization reactions to generate naphthalamide based lariat type thiadiazacrown ethers directly in chemo- and regio-selective manners which undergo very facile secondary dehydration reactions during separation processes to produce their corresponding amidoenethio ether cyclic products tethered with electron donating diethyleneoxy- and diethyenethio-side arm chains. Fluorescence and metal cation binding properties of the lariat type enamidothio products were examined. The photocyclized amidoenethio products, thioene conjugated naphthalamide fluorophore containing lariat-thiadiazacrowns exhibited strong fluorescence emissions in region of 330-450 nm along with intramolecular exciplex emissions in region of 450-560 nm with their maxima at 508 nm. Divalent cation $Hg^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ showed strong binding to sulfur atom(s) in side arm chain and atoms in enethiadiazacrown ether rings which led to significant enhancement of fluorescence from its chromophore singlet excited state and concomitant quenching of exciplex emission. The dual fluorescence emission responses towards divalent cations might provide a new guide for design and development of fluorescence sensors for detecting those metals.

폴리벤조옥사졸 전구체로써 poly(ο-hydroxyamide)를 2,2'-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxy phenyl)hexafluoropropane과 여러 가지 bis-acid를 사용하여 축중합법에 의해 합성하였으며, 또한 이를 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran과 부가반응시켜 산민감기인 tetrahydropyran이 부착된 방향족 폴리아미드를 합성하였다. Bis-acid의 구조에 따른 365 nm의 파장에서의 광투과도를 조사한 결과, 4,4'-oxydibenzoic acid로부터 합성된 중합체의 광투과도가 가장 우수하였다. 이러한 현상은 전자받게 성질을 갖고 있는 his-acid에 전자를 공여할 수 있는 구조를 도입하면 전자받게 성질이 감소되어 분자내 전하 이동 착물 (intra-CTC) 형성이 감소됨에 따라 광투과도가 증가된다고 사료된다. 또한 산민감기의 치환율이 높을수록 광투과도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 방향족 폴리아미드에 산민감기인 THP의 치환율이 높아질수록 사슬과 사슬간의 조밀함이 떨어지기 때문에 분자간 전하 이동 착물 (inter-CTC) 형성을 줄여주는 효과를 얻게 되어 광투과도가 증가된다고 사료된다.

We have prepared a phenothiazine-based nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore that displays a fairly high microscopic nonlinearity through intramolecular charge transfer. The phenothiazine unit plays important roles of contributing its high electron donating ability and connecting the resonance pathway through a conjugative effect in the cyclized ring adjacent to the aromatic ring. Theoretical calculations and an absorption spectroscopic study provided useful information concerning the microscopic nonlinearity of the chromophores. We investigated the electro-optic (EO) properties of the guest-host systems in amorphous polycarbonate containing the synthesized chromophores at different concentrations under different poling temperatures. A real-time pole and probe method provided a much greater amount of information regarding how the EO properties can arise and how they can be optimized.

Modified Bloch equations were used to simulate the solution EPR spectra of mixed-valence heteropolyanions containing vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V). Simulated are the 15-, 22-, 36- and 43-line spectra of $\alpha$-1,2-$[PV(IV)VW_{10})O_{40}]^{6-},\;[P_2V(IV)V_2W_{15}O_{62}]^{10-},\;[HP_2V(IV)V_2W_{15}O_{62}]^{9-}$ and $\alpha$-1,2,3-$[HSiV(IV)V_2W_9O_{40}]^{7-}$, respectively. The transition probabilities for the intramolecular electron transfer were determined from the simulations.

The reaction of Co2(CO)8 with 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone in the presence of the respective 4,4'-chalcogenobispyridine results in the coordination polymers of [CoⅢ(4,4'-X(Py)2)(DBSQ)(DBCat)]n (X=S, Se, Te; Py=pyridine; DBSQ=3,6-di-tert-butylsemiquinone; DBCat=3,6-di-tert-butylcatechol). The title compounds undergo an intramolecular Cat → Co electron transfer, and thus change toward the [CoⅡ(4,4'-X(Py)2)(DBSQ)2]n at elevated temperature. The temperature-switching properties of the compounds directly depend upon the electronegativity of the chalcogen atom of the 4,4'-chalcogenobispyridine coligands. The spectroscopic data disclose that the properties of [CoⅢ(4,4'-S(Py)2)(DBSQ)(DBCat)]n and [CoⅢ(4,4'-Se(Py)2)(DBSQ)(DBCat)]n are similar each other in contrast to those of [CoⅢ(4,4'-Te(Py)2)(DBSQ)(DBCat)]n.

Studies of Co(N-N)(3,6-DBSQ)(3,6-DBCat)(N-N=4,7-dimethyl-1 ,10-phenanthroline, 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline; DBSQ=di-tert-butylsemiquinonato; DBCat=di-tert-butylcatecholato) have been carried out on the bistability by intramolecular cobalt-quinone electron transfer in solid state. The title complexes dominantly exist as $Co^{III}$(N-N)(3,6-DBSQ)(3,6-DBCat) at room temperature and display a significant bistability on temperature variation. Subtle change in optical spectra and magnetic properties is observed when diimine ligands are changed.

The electrochemistry and valence tautomerism of CoⅢ(N-N)(SQ)(Cat), [N-N=N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA); SQ=3,5- or 3,6-di-tert-butyl-semiquinone, Cat=3,5- or 3,6-di-tert-butyl-catechol], have been investigated by spectroscopic, electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical methods in nonaqueous solvents under anaerobic condition. The transition temperature between tautomers is dependent upon the donation effect of substituted quinone ligand and solvent. It increases with the increase of donation effect of solvent and quinone ligand. CoⅢ(TMEDA)(SQ)(Cat) is reduced to [CoⅡ(TMEDA)(SQ)(Cat)]-, and then reduces to [CoⅡ(TMEDA)(Cat)2]2-. CoⅢ(TMEDA)(SQ)(Cat) is oxidized to [CoⅢ(TMEDA)(SQ)2]+, but the stability of the oxidized form in DMF is dependent upon the solution temperature. With the increase of solution temperatrue the oxidized form may be converted to [CoⅡ(TMEDA)(SQ)(BQ)]+ by intramolecular electron transfer from SQ ligand to CoⅢ.

We prepared the new nonlinear optical chromophores that show fairly high microscopic nonlinearity through intramolecular charge transfer. Phenothiazine and carbazole units played an important role to contribute high electron donability and connect the resonance pathway via conjugative effect in the cyclized ring beside the aromatic ring. Theoretical calculation, electrochemical analysis, and absorption spectroscopic study gave us useful information about the energy states and microscopic nonlinearities of two serial chromophores. We compared the microscopic nonlinearities of four chromophores with the conjugation length and electron donability in the push-pull type NLO chromophores. The effect of gradient donability and lengthening the conjugation were investigated on the electronic state and microscopic nonlinearity.
