Question 3 Some photophysical parameters (lifetime, t, and quantum yield, $) for fluorescence (n = 370 nm) and phosphorence (p = 580 nm) of pyrene, 1-chloropyrene and 1-bromopyrene are given in the table below, as measured at room temperature (RT) and at 77 K in a frozen ethanol glass. фе τη Фл Фр Tp (RT) (RT) (77 K) (77 K) (77 K) (ns) (s) X = H 0.72 530 0.9 < 0.001 0.39 X X = CI 0.22 75 0.59 0.058 0.10 X = Br 0.032 2 0.17 0.085 0.004 fl = fluorescence; p = phosphorescence (a) Construct a Jablonski diagram for pyrene (X = H) at 77K. (b) Pyrene (X = H) has an absorbance maximum, Amax, at 330 nm and a fluorescence maximum, 11, at 370 nm. Why does this difference in wavelengths occur? (c) Explain why the lifetime for phosphorescence is longer than that for fluorescence. (d) Why does the fluorescence quantum yield increase with decreasing temperature? (e) Explain the trend in phosphorescence quantum yield as X is varied.
Question 4 The photoisomerization of alkenes is a photochemical transformation between the E- and Z-stereoisomers. The irradiation of the E-isomer (shown below) with radiation at 340 nm gives an E:Z ratio of 5:95. Some relevant information for each compound is shown in the table below. Amax 340nm E290 E340 (L mol¹ cm¹) (L mol¹ cm-1) E 340 nm 8000 20000 PE-Z = 0.60 Z 290 nm 16000 2000 Oz-E = 0.30 (a) The reaction proceeds through an excited state. Explain the nature of this excited state, and explain how it allows formation of the E- and Z-isomers. Explain why this isomerisation is unlikely to occur thermally. (b) The product of the equilibrium shown above gives a final ratio with substantially more of one isomer. Explain why this occurs. (c) Explain why the starting concentration of isomers does not affect the final ratio after irradiation. (d) If the irradiating wavelength used was changed to 290 nm and you started with Z- rather than E-isomer, use the data in the table above to…
Question 5 The photoisomerisation of cinnamonitriles (shown below) has been used as a model for the molecular transformations that lead to vision in mammals. The outcome of the reaction under various conditions is shown in the table below. CN sensitizer visible light 忌 CN СОН HO.. OH OH N NH 'N' Riboflavin Starting isomer E Sensitizer Riboflavin Radiation No light Final Z:E ratio 0:100 E No sensitizer 402 nm 4:96 E Riboflavin 402 nm 99:1 Z Riboflavin 402 nm 99:1 (a) Explain what is happening in the photoisomerisation reaction above. (b) Give the structure of the intermediate that allows the reaction to occur, and explain how it forms. (c) Explain why each reaction gives the particular E:Z ratio that it does, and why it is considered photostationary. (d) Explain the role of the sensitizer, riboflavin, and why it is a requirement for this reaction. (e) Explain why the irradiation of both the E- and Z-isomers in the presence of riboflavin gives the same result. What would be the final…
