Eight different NBA molecules in three different solvents were irradiated to enforce a photochemical trans (hv) -> cis isomerisation and the kinetics of the thermal backreaction cis (Delta)-> trans were determined by NMR spectroscopy measurements in the temperature range between 193 and 288 K. Theoretical calculations using density functional theory and Eyring transition-state theory were carried out for 12 different NBA species in the gas phase and three different solvents to compute thermal isomerisation rates of the thermal back reaction. While the computed absolute rates are too large, they reveal and explain experimental trends. Time-dependent density functional theory provides optical spectra for vertical transitions and excitation energy differences between trans and cis forms. Together with isomerisation rates, the latter can be used to identify "optimal switches" with good photochromicity and reasonable thermal stability.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtHaukeMuehlenberg2014, author = {Schmidt, Bernd and Hauke, Sylvia and Muehlenberg, Nino}, title = {Imino glycals via Ruthenium-catalyzed RCM and isomerization}, series = {Synthesis}, volume = {46}, journal = {Synthesis}, number = {12}, publisher = {Thieme}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0039-7881}, doi = {10.1055/s-0033-1338615}, pages = {1648 -- 1658}, year = {2014}, abstract = {N-Allyl-N-homoallylamines were converted in one step into cyclic enamides via a ruthenium-catalyzed assisted tandem catalytic ring-closing metathesis-isomerization sequence.

This property enables photoinduced healing and processing of azopolymers with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, a general lack of knowledge about the influence of the polymer structure on photoinduced reversible solid-to-liquid transitions hinders the design of such novel polymers. Herein, the synthesis and photoresponsive behavior of new azopolymers with different lengths of spacers between the polymer backbone and the azobenzene group on the side chain are reported. Azopolymers with no and 20 methylene spacers did not show photoinduced solid-to-liquid transitions. Azopolymers with 6 or 12 methylene spacers showed photoinduced solid-to-liquid transitions. This study demonstrates that spacers are essential for azopolymers with photoinduced reversible solid-to-liquid transitions, and thus, gives an insight into how to design azopolymers for photoinduced healing and processing.}, language = {en} }
