The ultraviolet absorption and phosphorescence emission spectra of 2-(2-methylbenzoyl) thiophene (1), 2-benzoyl-3-methylthiophene (2), 2-benzoyl-4-methylthiophene (3), and 2-benzoyl-5-methylthiophene (4) are reported and analyzed. Partial energy diagrams are constructed. The lowest triplet is assigned as a π,π* state of the 2-thienoyl chromophore in every case. Photocycloaddition of isobutylene to the carbonyl group was observed with 1 and 2. The oxetanes are thermally unstable; olefins 1-(2-thienyl)-1-(2-methylphenyl)-2-methylpropene (from 1) and 1-phenyl-1-(2-(3-methylthienyl))-2-methylpropene (from 2) were formed and characterized. Irradiation of 1 and 2 in O-deuteromethanol did not lead to incorporation of deuterium; no reaction was observed. These results are discussed in terms of the existing generalizations potentially useful for predicting photochemical reactivity.

The electronic absorption and phosphorescence emission spectra and the photochemical reactivity of several methyl-3-benzoylthiophenes (2- and 4-methyl-3-benzoylthiophene (1, 2), 2,5-dimethyl-3-benzoylthiophene (3), and 3-(2-methylbenzoyl)thiophene (4)) have been studied. Partial state diagrams have been constructed. The lowest energy absorption in hexane solution in every case is the carbonyl n → π* transition. The two lowest triplet states of these ketones are close in energy and, in fact, the nature of the emitting triplet (n,π* or π,π*) depends upon the position of methyl substitution and upon the solvent. The photochemical reactions studied include intramolecular hydrogen abstraction (revealed by deuterium exchange in the adjacent methyl group upon irradiation in perdeuteriomethanol solution), photocycloaddition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to the thiophene ring, and photocycloaddition of isobutylene to the carbonyl group. Generalizations, potentially useful for predicting photochemical reactivity of these and other aromatic ketones are summarized.

The rotational spectrum of ethyl acetylene has been investigated between 70 and 320 GHz. A Coriolis interaction has been found between the first excited state of the methyl torsion and the C - C = C in plane deformation. Splittings of transitions in the first excited torsional state show that the barrier hindering internal rotation of the methyl group amounts to 3271 cal/mole.

With the focus of designing new fluorescent probes, four new 3-hydroxy-chromone derivatives bearing benzofuran and naphthofuran groups were synthesized. They show bathochromic absorption shifts relative to 3-hydroxyflavone with the ability of retention to display the excited-state proton transfer. Disruption of the planarity by the methyl group in the furan ring leads to a decrease of both the extinction coefficient and the contribution of long wavelength absorption band, while molecules without a methyl group showed two distinct absorption bands. Shifts to longer wavelengths are also observed in fluorescent spectra, and the absence of the methyl group results in a dramatic increase of fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime. Of the extended 3-hydroxychromone derivatives, 3-hydroxy-2-naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl-chromone has shown comparable, and in some cases better, absorption and fluorescence properties than the 3-hydroxychromones synthesized so far, which make it a highly promising candidate as molecular probe for analytical chemistry, biophysics, and cellular biology.Key words: benzo- and naphthofuryl-3-hydroxyflavone, synthesis, electronic spectra, fluorescence, excited state proton transfer.

Based on our deep comprehension of the unique excited state decay process of tetraphenylpyrazine derivatives, triphenylpyrazine-3-carbazole (TrPP-3C) was designed by replacing the phenyl group with a methyl group at the 3-position of pyrazine.

The torsional barrier of methylated xanthine compounds is affected by a methyl-adjacent carbonyl or methyl group in the ground state, whereas it is governed in the excited state by the hyperconjugation interaction in the LUMO.
