Unexpected Halogen Substituent Effects on the Complex Thermal Relaxation of Naphthopyrans after UV Irradiation
摘要:
The kinetics of the thermal fading of four halogenated naphthopyrans (NP) have been analyzed using NMR spectroscopy in CD(3)CN. Two photomerocyanines (TT and TC) were detected after UV irradiation. The main relaxation process TC --> NP was coupled with TT/TC isomerization. The activation parameters of the various processes were rationalized by considering electronegativity and polarizability of the halogen substituents and their selective solvation by the electronegative nitrogen of acetonitrile.

The complete assignment of the H-1, C-13 and F-19 NMR spectra of eight fluoro-substituted 3H-naphthopyrans was achieved by the concerted application of homonuclear (H-1-H-1) and heteronuclear (C-13-H-1 and F-19-H-1) correlations. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
