Zusammenfassung
N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (H2E) is photochromic. In CHCl3 it undergoes a phototautomerization (phi = 3 x 10(-4) at lambda (irr) = 333 nm) to its keto isomer H(2)Q which is thermally reconverted to the original enol form. The enol is not luminescent but the keto isomer shows a green fluorescence at lambda (max) = 505 nm with phi = 10(-2) at lambda (exc) = 410 ...

N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (H2E) is photochromic. In CHCl3 it undergoes a phototautomerization (phi = 3 x 10(-4) at lambda (irr) = 333 nm) to its keto isomer H(2)Q which is thermally reconverted to the original enol form. The enol is not luminescent but the keto isomer shows a green fluorescence at lambda (max) = 505 nm with phi = 10(-2) at lambda (exc) = 410 nm. Accordingly, the photoreversible system does not only display a conventional photochromism but also a luminescence photochromism. The complex Co-II(E) in CHCl3 is also light sensitive. It is irreversibly photooxidized to Co(E)(+) with phi = 5 x 10(-3) at lambda (irr)=435 nm. The electron is not removed from the metal but from the ligand. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
