Bipyridyl Derivatives as Photomemory Devices: A Comparative Electronic‐Structure Study

Abstract: The two isoelectronic bipyridyl derivatives [2,2'-bipyridyl]-3,3'-diamine (BP(NH(2))(2)) and [2,2'-bipyridyl]-3,3'-diol (BP(OH)(2)) are experimentally known to undergo very different excited-state double proton transfer processes that result in fluorescence quantum yields that differ by four orders of magnitude. Such differences have been theoretically explained in terms of topographical features in the potential energy surface and the likely presence of conical intersections. The hypothetical hybrid compound … Show more

“…This same scenario was previously observed for the non-substituted bipyridyls. [34][35][36] Globally, the pattern of the different relevant structures found in both electronic states mimics the results previously found for the parent BP(NH 2 ) 2 molecule. [35,36] However, now the more stable form in the excited state is the original DA*.…”

[35,36] However, now the more stable form in the excited state is the original DA*. In fact the energies of both MI* and DI* minima are higher than the energy of the Franck-Condon geometry so that even if the CI has an energy below the Franck-Condon one, it is energetically inaccessible.…”
