- Determination and application of the excited-state substituent constants of pyridyl and substituted phenyl groups
-
Thirty six 1-pyridyl-2-arylethenes XCH=CHArY (abbreviated XAEY) were synthesized, in which, X is 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl and 4-pyridyl and Y is OMe, Me, H, Br, Cl, F, CF3, and CN. Their ultraviolet absorption spectra were measured in anhydrous ethanol, and their wavelengths of absorption maximum λmax were recorded. Also, the 234 λmax values of 1-substituted phenyl-2-arylethylene compounds (XAEY, where X is substituted phenyl) were collected. The excited-state substituent constants (Formula presented.) of three pyridyl groups and 23 substituted phenyl groups (total of 26) were obtained by means of curve-fitting method. Taking the λmax values of 358 samples of bi-arylethene derivatives as a data set and 126 samples of bi-aryl Schiff bases (including nine compounds synthesized by this work) as another data set, quantitative correlation analyses were performed by employing the obtained (Formula presented.) as a parameter, and good results were obtained for the two data sets. The reliability of the obtained (Formula presented.) values was verified. The results of this paper can provide excited-state substituent constants for the study and application of optical properties of conjugated organic compounds containing aryl groups.

- Kinetics of reductive N-O bond fragmentation: The role of a conical intersection
-
N-alkoxyheterocycles can act as powerful one-electron acceptors in photochemical electrontransfer reactions. One-electron reduction of these species results in formation of a radical that undergoes N-O bond fragmentation to form an alkoxy radical and a neutral heterocycle. The kinetics of this N-O bond fragmentation reaction have been determined for a series of radicals with varying substituents and extents of delocalization. Rate constants varying over 7 orders of magnitude are obtained. A reaction potential energy surface is described that involves avoidance of a conical intersection. A molecular basis for the variation of the reaction rate constant with radical structure is given in terms of the relationship between the energies of the important molecular orbitals and the reaction potential energy surface. Ab initio and density functional electronic structure calculations provide support for the proposed reaction energy surface.
