Solvent-Dependent Behavior of Phenanthrene-Amine Intramolecular Exciplexes

The solvent dependence of the photophysical and photochemical behavior of several ((N,N-dimethylamino)-alkylphenanthrenes in which the amino group is attached to the phenanthrene at C9 or C1 via a short polymethylene chain has been investigated.Intramolecular exciplex fluorescence is observed in moderately polar solvents but not in nonpolar solvents.The solvent dependence of exciplex fluorescence is attributed to exergonic formation of solvated exciplexes with loose geometries in polar solvents and endergonic exciplex formation in nonpolar solvents.In the case of the (aminoethyl)phenanthrene exciplex fluorescence is observed in highly polar solvents, including dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and acetonitrile-water binary mixtures and in frozen polar glasses.In the case of the (aminomethyl)phenanthrene moderately efficient photodeamination to yield 9-methylphenanthrene and 1,2-di-9-phenanthrylethane is observed.The solvent and temperature dependence of the kinetics of exciplex formation and decay are discussed and compared to results for other intramolecular arene-amine exciplexes.

Photocleavage of the C-O bond of 9-phenanthrylmethyl ω-anilinoalkyl ethers via photo-induced intramolecular electron transfer

Photoreactions of the title compounds nNHPh: Ar = 9-phenanthryl> 1 and 2 (n = 4 and 5) gave ω-alkan-1-ols 7 and 8 and ω-alkan-1-ols 9 and 10, respectively, by the cleavage of the C-O bond, while that of another title compound 3 (n = 6) gave spiro-compounds 17 and 18 with 12- and 14-membered-rings, respectively, as main products.The photoreaction is proposed to proceed via photo-induced intramolecular electron transfer from comparison of the reaction products with those in the photoreaction of ArCH2O3Ph 5 in the presence of N-methylaniline and acetic acid.The structures of spiro-compounds 17, 18, and the acetate of 9 were confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis.
