Description:
Photochromic 5-phenylpyrazolidin-3-one-based azomethine imines containing 2-((1H-imidazol-2-yl)methylene) 1, 2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene) 2, 2-(quinolin-2-ylmethylene) 3, and 2-((8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)methylene) 4 substituents were synthesized. All the compounds exist in the ring-opened O forms. Under irradiation with light of 365 nm, compounds 1–4 undergo thermally reversible isomerization into ring-closed bicyclic diaziridine isomers C. Azomethine imines 1–3 exhibit properties of ion-active molecular “off-on” switches of fluorescence when interacting with F− or AcO− anions. Compound 4 represents a bifunctional chemosensor demonstrating a colorimetric “naked-eye” effect for Ni2+ cation and complete fluorescence quenching in the presence of H+, F−, and CN− ions.
