Abstract
Photolysis of [4-(2-methyl-5-tert-butyl-cyclohexadiene-1,5-dion-3,4-yl)-3-methyl-6-t-butyl-catecholato] triphenylantimony(V) in toluene by irradiation with the light of wavelength 546 nm leads to excitation of the molecule of parent compound which reacts with a molecule of Ph3SbCatQ affording 4,4′-di-(3-methyl-6-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone) and 4,4′-di[(3-methyl-6-tert-butyl-catecholato)triphenylantimony(V)]. The formed compounds react with each other returning the system into the initial state. Action of light of wavelength 313 and 405 nm on the initial reaction mixture leads to the formation of carbon monoxide, Ph3SbCatCatSbPh3 and the products of photolytic transformation of 4,4′-di(3-methyl-6-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone).
