Photoinduced decarbonylation of 2,4-bis(spirocyclohexyl)-1,3-cyclobutanedione 1 in the crystalline solid state resulted in formation of a deep blue transient with λ(max) = 550 nm and a half-life of 42 min at 298 K, identified as kinetically stabilized oxyallyl. Support for an open-shell singlet species was obtained by spectroscopic analysis and (4/4) CASSCF calculations with the 6-31+G(d) basis set and multireference MP2 corrections. The electronic spectrum of the singlet biradical, confirmed by femtosecond pump-probe studies in solution, was matched by coupled cluster calculations with single and double corrections.
在 298 K 下,晶体固态中的 2,4-双(螺环环己基)-1,3-环丁二酮 1 的光诱导脱羰反应生成了一个具有 λ(max) = 550nm 和半衰期为 42 分钟的深蓝色瞬态物质,被鉴定为动力学稳定的氧杂丙二烯。通过光谱分析和(4/4)CASSCF 计算(使用 6-31+G(d)基组和多参考 MP2 校正)获得了开壳单重态物种的支持。通过溶液中飞秒泵浦探测研究证实了单重态双自由基的电子光谱,并用带有单重和双重校正的耦合簇计算进行了匹配。
