Photolysis of Em9-s Complex to Produce Em9-i Isomer

Example 21

Complex Em9-i:

[Figure (not displayed)]

A solution of 0.17 g of complex Em9-s in 2000 ml acetonitril are irradiated at 15° C. for 9.5 h with a blacklight-blue-lamp (Osram, L18W/73, λ_max=370-380 nm). The solvent is removed in vacuo. The residue is purified by chromatography (cyclohexane/acetic ester). 0.055 g of Em9-i (32%, contaminated with traces of a further complex) are obtained as well as 0.075 g of reisolated Em9-s (44%) are reisolated.

¹H-NMR [CD₂Cl₂, 400 MHz, sample comprises traces of a further complex observable for example at 0.77 (m), 0.83 (d), 1.04 (d), 1.21 (m), 1.92 (sept), 2.34 (sept), 7.20-7.23 (m), 7.31-7.34 (m)]:

δ=0.65 (d, 3H), 0.77 (d, 3H), 0.85 (d, 3H), 0.97 (d, 3H), 0.98 (d, 3H), 1.02 (d, 3H), 1.13 (d, 6H), 1.82 (sept, 1H), 2.33 (sept, 1H), 2.54 (sept, 1H), 2.67 (sept, 1H), 3.04 (s, 3H), 6.09 (dd, 2H), 6.37 (td, 1H), 6.40-6.44 (m, 3H), 6.50 (m, 1H), 6.59 (d, 1H), 6.61 (td, 1H), 6.68 (d, 1H), 6.70 (d, 1H), 6.72 (d, 1H), 6.86 (d, 1H), 6.96 (br.s, 1H), 7.14 (me, 2H), 7.20-7.23 (m, 1H), 7.23-7.31 (m, 3H), 7.44-7.50 (m, 3H).

MS (Maldi):

m/e=979 (M+H)⁺

photoluminescence (in film, 2% in PMMA):

λ_max=457, 485 nm, CIE: (0.17; 0.26)

The photoluminescence quantum efficiency of the isomer Em9-i has the 1.14-fold value of the quantum efficiency of the isomer Em9-s.
