Popis: | Bichromophoric compounds BP-C-NP and BP-C-NBD were synthe- sized with benzophenone chromophore (BP) as the donor, and 2-naphthyl (NP) and norbornadiene group (NBD) as the acceptor, respectively. Their in- tramolecular triplet energy transfer was examined. The bridges linking the donor and acceptors in these molecules involve a crown ether moiety complex- ing a sodium ion. Phosphorescence quenching, flash photolysis and photo- sensitized isomerization experiments indicate that intramolecular triplet energy transfer occurs with rate con- stants of about 3.3 = 10 5 and 4.8 = 10 5 s � 1 and efficiencies of about 33 and 42 % for BP-C-NP and BP-C-NBD, respec- tively. Theoretical calculations indicate that these molecules adopt conforma- tions below room temperature which allow their two-end chromophores con- ducive to through-space energy trans- fer. |
