Molecular Switches Get Wired: Synthesis of Diarylethenes Containing One or Two Sulphurs
摘要:
Two series of novel diarylethenes, the first containing one and the second two acetyl protected thiol groups, were synthesised in two and three steps from an easily available known intermediate. Newly synthesised compounds present ideal examples of model substrates for photochromic studies on metal surfaces.

Upon deposition of an achiral solution of diarylethene 1 on the achiral surface of graphite, a highly ordered monolayer with large homachiral domains is formed by self-assembly. Scanning tunneling micro ropy and molecolar dynamics show that the building blocks forming this monolayer are chiral dinners. We suggest that the mechanism of formation of these chiral dinners is first, surface-Induced atropoisomerism, which provides diarylethene 1 with a fixed helicity, and second, shape recognition between atropoisomers having similar helicites.
