Synthesis and spectral properties of furyl-substituted pyridines and pyrylium and pyridinium salts

Abstract2,6-Diphenyl-4-(5-R-2-furyl) pyrylium and 2,4-diphenyl-6-(5-bromo-2-furyl) pyrylium perchlorates and the corresponding pyridines and 1-methylpyridinium perchlorates were synthesized. On the basis of the UV and PMR spectra it was concluded that there is significant electronic interaction of the furylium substituent with the pyrylium and pyridinium cations.

Condensed heterocyclic systems with a quaternary nitrogen atom

Nitro and amino derivatives of pyrido[1,2-f]phenanthridinium perchlorate were synthesized by the Pschorr method and by photocyclodehydrogenation from N-(nitrophenyl)-or N-(aminophenyl)pyridinium perchlorates. The mechanism of the photoconversion was investigated.

Optical and photochemical properties of N-benzalaminophenylpyridinium perchlorates

The electronic spectra of a number of benzylidene derivatives of N-aminoarylpyridinium perchlorates are associated with absorption localized on the individual pyridinium and azomethine fragments and with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from the azomethine fragment to the pyridinium ring. The luminescence is associated with the latter process. The photochromism is due to proton transfer in the excited state of the azomethine fragment, which competes with ICT, and is also due to structural factors.
