Popis: New 1,2-diaryl- and 1,2,6-triarylpyridinium salts, containing various five- and six-membered heteroaromatic substituents in the 1, 2, and 6-positions of the pyridinium ring, were synthesized. New tetra- and hexacyclic compounds were prepared by photocyclization of the cations of these salts. Photocyclization proceeds through a singlet excited state with nonadiabatic formation of a dihydro intermediate, followed by its oxidative dehydrogenation. The structure and quantum yield of the formation of photoproducts are determined by steric and electronic effects of the substituents, and in bichromophore compounds by the presence of S-S intramolecular interfragment energy transfer.
