Syntheses, structures and photochromism of two novel copper(II) complexes with 1,2-bis(2′-methyl-5′-(2″-pyridyl)-3′-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene
摘要:
Two novel Cu(II) complexes with 1,2-bis(2'-methyl-5'-(2"-pyridyl)-3'-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene (BM-2-PTP) or its closed-form (closed-BM-2-PTP) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Both complexes are tetra-coordinated to two N atoms from distinct ligands and two Cl atoms from anions, forming 1-D polymeric structures. [Cu(BM-2-PTP)Cl-2] (1) showed typical spectral changes as analogous Ag(I) complexes with the same ligand upon appropriate light stimulus. However, closed-BM-2PTP displayed different photocyclization from its open-ring form upon irradiation with UV light, indicating the photogenerated closed form turned into two kinds of closed-ring isomers. Furthermore, [Cu(closed-BM-2-PTP)Cl-2] (2) was revealed to contain two conformers by X-ray crystallographic analysis and displayed similarities in photocyclization to its free ligand. The distinct absorptions of the UV spectrum were attributed to the coexistence of two conformers in complex 2, both of which showed effective photo reactivities in the crystalline phase. The photochromic mechanism of complex 2 is tentatively concluded as two conformers displaying independent photoreactions. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
