A Visible‐Light‐Triggered Conformational Diastereomer Photoswitch in a Bridged Azobenzene

Abstract: Ketal-substituted bridged azobenzenes have been synthesized; these display a symmetrical boat conformation with the ketal in pseudo-equatorial positions. These bridged Z-azobenzenes (Z1 ) readily photoisomerize to the E-isomer as well as another Z-conformer (Z2 ) with ketal function on the pseudo-axial position upon irradiation at 406 nm. The two diastereomeric conformers display distinct physicochemical characteristics. Spectroscopic and NMR investigations supported that interconversion of two conformers occu… Show more

“…Note also that due to silver complexation, the central CNNC moiety within Z2_Ag1 is slightly more distorted (2.6°) as compared to the neutral crystal structure (0.6°). 17 The effect is much less pronounced for Z1_Ag4, the CNNC moiety being planar (0.02°). NNC angles are smaller for (118.5-118.6°)…”

“…16 The synthesis and isomerization properties of ketal-substituted bridged azobenzenes, presenting a highly twisted unstable E isomer has recently been reported. 17 A particularity of this system is the existence of two stable Z diastereoisomers namely Z1 and Z2 (Scheme 1), whose relative proportions can be varied depending on the irradiation wavelength. 17 This uncommon threecomponent switching system proved especially challenging to analyze by UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy, because no characteristic wavelength allows the quantitation for E→Z thermal back relaxation process.…”

“…Powder samples of o-1-Co(II) undergo abrupt, complete and hysteretic SCO, which is possibly due to the crystallographic phase change and the associated intermolecular interaction change [38,39]. o-1-Co (II) possesses photoactive anti-parallel (ap-) configuration and photoinactive parallel (p-) configuration [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Due to the typical rapid rotation of flexible aryl groups, the two conformers present anti-parallel:parallel with ratio of 3:2 in this system, thus resulting in difficulty of structured inter- Meanwhile, we cannot exclude the influence of crystallized water molecules and counter ions on the SCO properties.…”
