Spectroelectrochemistry of a photochromic [2.2]paracyclophane-bridged imidazole dimer: clarification of the electrochemical behavior of HABI.

The photochromic behavior of the imidazole dimers can be attributable to the photoinduced homolytic cleavage of the C-N bond between the two imidazole rings. On the other hand, although the simultaneous formation of the imidazolyl radical and imidazole anion by the one-electron reduction of an imidazole dimer was reported, no definitive evidence for this electrochemical reaction has been demonstrated. We report the first direct evidence for the electrochemical generation of the imidazolyl radical from the radical anion of the imidazole dimer by conducting the UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemical analysis of the [2.2]paracyclophane-bridged imidazole dimer.
