Abstrakt: The molecular structures of the initial compounds and the products of photocyclization involving amino and azomethine groups in perchlorates of N-amino ( 1) and N-azomethine ( 2) derivatives of 2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium cations were studied. Cations 1 and 2 have an essentially non-coplanar arrangement of the α-Ph rings, and the product of photocyclization of 2, cation 3, is characterized by a flattened structure. It was found that the orientation of the lone electron pair of the N atom with respect to one of the planes of the α-Ph rings in molecule 1 is more favorable for monocyclization involving the amino group. The structure of molecule 2 allows two routes of the photoreaction, viz., O → N proton transfer and monocyclization with an α-Ph ring. However, the structural features of molecule 2 are more favorable for photocyclization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
