New Crown Spirobenzopyrans as Light- and Ion-Responsive Dual-Mode Signal Transducers
摘要:
A new class of crown spirobenzopyrans were designed and synthesized. The crown spirobenzopyrans showed thermally irreversible photochromism only in the presence of alkali-metal cations accompanying cation-selective coloring efficiency. Thus, the new crown spirobenzopyrans could transmit information of two different simultaneous stimuli (ion and photon) to changes in their optical properties. The dual-mode signal transducer molecules developed here can be considered to perform ''AND'' gate type signal transduction based on photochromism of artificial receptors. Molecular recognition abilities and photochromic properties of the new crown spirobenzopyrans were characterized by use of NMR and FAB mass spectroscopies.

A new type of crowncompound (1–3) featuring an assembly of two or three individual macrorings with different ring size, rigidity, and donor atoms and having characteristic aromatic junctions is introduced. Syntheses are described and cation binding abilities of the compounds are evaluated by solventextraction technique and isolation of solid complexes. Due to the number of macrorings and their property
