Abstract

Properties of 1,2-bis-(4-[(E)-2-quinoline-2-vinyl)phenoxymethyl)benzene, a bis(styrylquinoline) dyad SoS, in which two styrylquinoline fragments (SQ) are linked by o-xylylene bridge, have been investigated. Photoisomerization of the SQ fragment in the bichromophoric dyad occurs as efficiently as in the monochromophoric model compound 2-(4-methoxystyryl)quinoline MeSQ. Along with photoisomerization, [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition occurs affording tetrasubstituted cyclobutane. According to the quantumchemical DFT calculations, this reaction is assisted by preorganizing action of o-xylylene group orienting the two SQ fragments in the dyad in the head-to-head position.
