The study investigates the stepwise photochromic properties of biphotochromic molecules involving multiple spin interactions using double-pulse laser flash photolysis. The photochromic reaction generates the o-biradical form which thermally isomerizes to the o-quinoidal form and reaches thermal equilibrium between them. Additional photon absorption by the open-closed form leads to the generation of unpaired spins at the p-position of the central aromatic bridge of the biradical or quinoidal form, resulting in dynamic spin-spin interactions and rearrangement of chemical bonds.
Biradicaloids in pi-conjugated organic molecules have been extensively studied in recent years because of the fundamental insights into the chemical bonds and unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. Several studies have reported that the spin-spin interactions of biradicaloids with flexible molecular frameworks dynamically evolve correlating with molecular structural changes. Although these dynamic behaviors will provide important insights into the relationship between molecular structures and spin properties, studies on such behaviors have been limited to two-spin systems. Here, we investigated the stepwise photochromic properties of biphotochromic molecules involving multiple spin interactions by double-pulse laser flash photolysis. The one-photon photochromic reaction generates the o-biradical form as the openclosed form, which thermally isomerizes to the o-quinoidal form and reaches the thermal equilibrium state between them. The additional absorption of a photon by the open-closed form leads to the photochromic reaction of the other photochromic unit, resulting in the generation of unpaired spins at the p-position of the central aromatic bridge of the biradical or quinoidal form. Under the situation, while the interaction between the unpaired spins and the o-biradical preferentially produces the p-quinoidal form in which the antiferromagnetic interaction at the p-position is dominant, that between the spins and the o-quinoidal form kinetically produces the bis(o-quinoidal) form followed by the thermal isomerization to the thermodynamically stable p-quinoidal form. These dynamic spin-spin interactions along with the rearrangement of chemical bonds will give a deeper understanding of the singlet biradicaloids and that to bridge organic multiradicals in molecular systems to cooperative spin behaviors in bulk materials.
