Kinetics of ultra-fast excited state proton transfer from 7-hydroxy-4-methylflavylium chloride to water
摘要:
Excited state proton transfer from 7-hydroxy-4-methylflavylium chloride to water is reported. From a modified analysis of picosecond time-resolved fluorescence data (not using the lifetime of a parent compound), all rate constants were determined: the deprotonation rate constant of the flavylium cation, k(d) = 1.4 x 10(11) s(-1), the protonation rate constant of the base form, k(p) = 2.3 x 10(10) l mol(-1) s(-1) and the reciprocal fluorescence lifetimes of these species, k(AH+) = 7.8 x 10(9) s(-1) (tau(AH+) = 128 ps) and k(A) = 7.6 x 10(9) s(-1) (tau(A) = 132 ps), in water, at 20 degrees C. The value of k(d) is the largest measured value for an intermolecular proton transfer (to water). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

multicomponent reaction from various N-methylisoquinolium or flavylium salts and 4-hydroxycoumarins or dimedone in acetone. Purification of the final products by recrystallization in ethyl acetate/methylene chloride or by column chromatography allowed easy isolation of nine compounds of each array. Preliminary studies indicated that some of the prepared compounds exhibit redox switching, photochromic

Two coumarin-based spiropyran derivatives were synthesized and characterized in two steps to explore their photochromic properties. Both prepared compounds are sensitive to UV light and change colors upon irradiation. The resulting photogenerated zwitterions revert to the original compounds while being heated. A new family of organic photochromic colorants is introduced.
