摘要: A series of asymmetrically substituted acridinylidene cyanoacetic esters was synthesized and analyzed for dynamic behavior spectroscopic features. Although formally connected via a C=C double bond, the ester groups behave as molecular rotors due to electronic push-pull situation in system. The donor-acceptor character lowers rotational barrier allows controlling rate by adjusting contribution substituent changing solvent polarity. Besides rotation, much faster flipping motion can be assigned tricyclic motif, both which lead rapid interconversion between axially chiral conformers Acid treatment induces an intense fluorescence system, protonation carbon on rotor site, concomitant with formation fluorescent acridinium ion. dynamic, fluorogenic electrochemical three systems is compared aid NMR, UV/vis measurements, X-ray structural analysis, cyclic voltammetry modelling.
