Abstract
[structures: see text] Novel macrocyclic and medium-size stilbenophanes tethered by silyl chains were synthesized, and their photochemical and photophysical properties were examined. Direct photoirradiation of macrocyclic stilbenophanes gave intramolecular photocycloadducts stereoselectively, and the efficiency increased with decreasing distance between the two stilbene units. The triplet-sensitized photoreaction of stilbenophanes caused cis-trans photoisomerization. Photoreactions of cis-fixed stilbenophanes under an oxygen atmosphere selectively gave phenanthrenophanes. Fluorescence quantum yields increased with the introduction of silyl substituents, and hence those of silyl-tethered stilbenophanes were larger than that of unsubstituted trans-stilbene. Intramolecular excimer emission was observed when the distances between two stilbene units in the stilbenophanes were sufficiently small.
