The role of triplet state of nitrospiropyran in their photochromic reaction
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of intermolecular and intramolecular triplet quenchers and sensitizers on the photochromism of nitrospiropyran have been examined in order to clarify the role of the triplet state (3A*) as well as that of the excited singlet state (1A*).

TL;DR: In this article, the photoexcitation of the first generated open forms gives rise to other open forms which need a double-bond rotation for reversion to the closed form.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reinvestigation of synthetic methods for zinc meso-tetraphenyltetrabenzoporphyrin
TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of 3-benzylidenephthalimidine (3-BPI) with zinc acetate for the preparation of the meso- tetraphenyltetrabenzoporphyrin zinc complex (ZnP4TBP) is reinvestigated.

TL;DR: In this article, high temperature reactions of phthalimide potassium salt (PIK) with various zinc carbonates were carried out, and the reaction of PIK with zinc acetate yielded tetrabenzoporphinato zinc (ZnTBP), whose four tert-butyl substituents were positioned on the TBP periphery.
