Photogeneration of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes: Application in Photoinduced Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization
摘要： We report a method to generate the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene (IMes) under UV-irradiation at 365 nm to characterize IMes and determine the corresponding photochemical mechanism. Then, we describe a protocol to perform ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) in solution and in miniemulsion using this NHC-photogenerating system. To photogenerate IMes, a system comprising 2-isopropylthioxanthone (ITX) as the sensitizer and 1,3-dimesitylimidazolium tetraphenylborate (IMesH+BPh4-) as the protected form of NHC is employed. IMesH+BPh4- can be obtained in a single step by anion exchange between 1,3-dimesitylimidazolium chloride and sodium tetraphenylborate. A real-time steady-state photolysis setup is described, which hints that the photochemical reaction proceeds in two consecutive steps: 1) ITX triplet is photo-reduced by the borate anion and 2) subsequent proton transfer takes place from the imidazolium cation to produce the expected NHC IMes. Two separate characterization protocols are implemented. Firstly, CS2 is added to the reaction media to evidence the photogeneration of NHC through formation of the IMes-CS2 adduct. Secondly, the amount of NHC released in situ is quantified using acid-base titration. The use of this NHC photo-generating system for the ROMP of norbornene is also discussed. In solution, a photopolymerization experiment is conducted by mixing ITX, IMesH+BPh4-, [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 and norbornene in CH2Cl2, then irradiating the solution in a UV reactor. In a dispersed medium, a monomer miniemulsion is first formed then irradiated inside an annular reactor to produce a stable poly(norbornene) latex.

[Topics in Current Chemistry Collections] Multidimensional Time-Resolved Spectroscopy || Electronic Couplings in (Bio-) Chemical Processes
摘要： During the last two decades, 2D optical techniques have been extended to the visible range, targeting electronic transitions. Since the report of the very first 2D electronic measurement (Hybl et al. in J Chem Phys 115:6606–6622, [2001]), two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) has allowed fundamentally new insights into the structure and dynamics of condensed-phase systems (Ginsberg et al. in Acc Chem Res 42:1352–1363, 2009; Jonas in Annu Rev Phys Chem 54:425–463, 2003), producing experiments that measure correlations among electronic states of an absorbing species within complex systems. 2DES is used to investigate photophysical phenomena involving electronic or vibrational couplings in multi-chromophoric systems [energy transfer in photosynthesis is one great example of how 2DES can disentangle various energy transfer pathways (Brixner et al. in Nature 625–628, 2005; Engel et al. in Nature 446:782–786, 2007; Collini et al. in Nature 463:644–647, 2010)], but also ultrafast photochemical processes in which the tracked molecules change permanently or are heterogeneous (Ruetzel et al. in Proc Natl Acad Sci 111:4764–4769, 2014; Consani et al. in Science 339:1586–1589, 2013). We divide this chapter according to some of the major areas that have been established thanks to 2DES in the following fields: heterogeneity of systems, excitation energy transfer mechanisms, photo-induced coherent oscillations associated with electronic and vibrational couplings, and complex chemical reactions (Fig. 1).
