摘要

We have investigated the photophysical,photochemical and electrochemical properties of two bis(azo)derivatives,(E,E)-m-1 and(E,E)-p-1.The two compounds,which can be viewed as being composed of a pair of azobenzene units sharing one of their phenyl rings,differ only for the relative position of the two azo groups on the central phenyl ring-meta and para for m-1 and p-1,respectively.The UV-visi-ble absorption spectra and photoiso-merisation properties are noticeably different for the two structural isomers;(E,E)-m-1 behaves similarly to(E)-azobenzene,while(E,E)-p-1 exhibits a substantial red shift in the absorption bands and a decreased photoreactivity.The three geometric isomers of m-1,namely the E,E,E,Z and Z,Z isomers,cannot be resolved in a mixture by absorption spectroscopy,while the presence of three distinct species can be revealed by analysis of the absorption changes observed upon photoisomeri-sation of(E,E)-p-1.Quantum chemical ZINDO/1 calculations of vertical excitation energies nicely reproduce the observed absorption changes and support the idea that,while the absorption spectra of the geometrical isomers of m-1 are approximately given by the sum of the spectra of the constituting azobenzene units in their relevant iso-meric form,this is not the case for p-1.From a detailed study on the E->Z photoisomerisation reaction it was observed that the photoreactivity of an azo unit in m-1 is influenced by the iso-meric state of the other one.Such observations indicate a different degree of electronic coupling and communication between the two azo units in m-1 and p-1,as confirmed by electrochemical experiments and quantum chemical calculations.The decreased photoisomerisation efficiency of(E,E)-p-1 compared to(E,E}-m-1 is rationalised by modelling the geometry relaxation of the lowest pi-pi~* state.These results are expected to be important for the design of novel oligomers and polymers,based on the azobenzene unit,with predetermined photoreactivity.
