Popis: The measured reactivity indices (β-values) of heterocoerdianthrones (HCDs) in self-sensitized photoperoxidation indicate a high reactivity toward singlet-oxygen. Such a high reactivity is not only due to an effective singlet-oxygen production due to the highly fluorescent character, but also due to a strained structure, as predicted by a molecular calculation. On the other hand, the large thermal stability of their endoperoxides (POs), revealed by the large activation energy in thermal decomposition, is also explained by considering the strained structure of the parent HCDs. As a prospect of solar synthesis, one of the HCD derivatives was applied to a photosensitizer for singlet-oxygen oxidation.
