The title compound, 4,13-bis[(1E,3E)-4-(9-anthracenyl)buta-1,3-dienyl][2.2]paracyclophane (2), prepared in 35% overall yield from [2.2]paracyclophane, absorbs light at lambda(max) = 400 nm with a tail down to 480 nm. By irradiation into this band, 2 generates a single photoproduct, 4, whose absorption maximum is situated at 306 nm. The starting material is recovered by irradiation at 306 nm or by heating
标题化合物 4,13-双[(1E,3E)-4-(9-
蒽基)丁-1,3-二烯基][2.2] 对环烷 (2),由 [2.2] 对环烷以 35% 的总产率制备, 在 lambda(max) = 400 nm 处吸收光,尾部低至 480 nm。通过照射到该波段,2 生成单个光产物 4,其吸收最大值位于 306 nm。通过306nm辐射或加热回收起始材料。这种“反向”光致变色系统具有存储光学信息的潜力,化合物 4 在环境温度下在可见光下是稳定的。
