New styryl dye of the 2-benzothiazole series was synthesized. The new dye contains two methoxy groups in the benzene ring and tosylate counterion. The [2+2] photocycloaddition (PCA) of the dye was studied in the polycrystalline film and in single crystal. Two modifications of the dye cocrystallizate with hydroquinone differed in the ratio of components were obtained, and their ability to enter PCA was studied. According to the X-ray diffraction data, molecular cations of the dye form stack packings either of syn-“head-to-tail” type or relatively isolated stacking dimers. In all cases, the ethylene bonds of the adjacent cations are brought together and antiparallel, favoring PCA to form the centrosymmetric rctt-isomer of 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted cyclobutane. In two cases, the PCA reaction proceeded as the “single crystal-to-single crystal” transformation. Hydrogen bonds in crystals including hydroquinone molecules strengthen the crystal packing retarding the PCA. The back photoreaction (retro-PCA) was detected: it occurs without single crystal decomposition and results in the accumulation of the initial styryl dye in crystal consisting of the cyclobutane derivative. This is the first example of such a transformation in single crystals.
合成了 2-苯并噻唑系列的新型苯乙烯基染料。新染料的苯环上含有两个甲氧基和甲苯磺酸盐反离子。研究了该染料在多晶膜和单晶中的 [2+2] 光环加成(PCA)。得到了染料与对苯二酚的两种不同成分比例的共晶化合物,并研究了它们进入 PCA 的能力。根据 X 射线衍射数据,该染料的分子阳离子形成了 "头对尾 "型或相对孤立的堆叠二聚体。在所有情况下,相邻阳离子的乙烯键都聚集在一起并反平行,有利于 PCA 形成 1,2,3,4 四取代环丁烷的中心对称 rctt 异构体。在两种情况下,PCA 反应以 "单晶-单晶 "转化的方式进行。包括对苯二酚分子在内的晶体中的氢键加强了晶体的堆积,从而延缓了 PCA 的发生。检测到了逆光反应(retro-PCA):它发生时没有单晶体分解,并导致最初的苯乙烯基染料在环丁烷衍生物组成的晶体中积累。这是第一个在单晶体中发生这种转变的实例。
