A series of N-acylated 2-aminomethylenebenzo[b]thiophene-3(2Н)-ones with a terminal phenanthroline receptor substituent was synthesized. Upon irradiation in CH3CN or DMSO with light of 436 nm, they undergo Z/E isomerization around the C=C bond followed by rapid N→O migration of the acyl group and the formation of non-emissive O-acylated isomers. These isomers were separated preparatively and fully characterized by IR, 1H, 13C NMR, HRMS and XRD methods. The reverse thermal reaction is catalyzed by protonic acids. N-Acylated compounds exclusively with Fe2+ ions form non-fluorescent complexes with a contrast naked eye effect - color change of the solutions from yellow to pink-crimson. Subsequent selective interaction with acetate anions leads to the restoration of the initial absorption and emission spectra. Thus, the obtained compounds represent dual-mode “on-off-on” switches of optical and fluorescent properties under sequential exposure to light/H+ or sequential addition of Fe2+/AcO- ions.
Keywords: acylated ketoenamines; photochromism; fluorescence; naked eye effect; molecular switches
