Abstract

Sensitized photolysis: We describe a series of macrocyclic disulfides containing stiff stilbene (see scheme) as the intramolecular photosensitizer designed for fundamental mechanistic studies of sensitized photolysis of the SS bond. Preliminary studies revealed weak temperature dependence of the quantum yields, which decreased exponentially with Boltzmann‐weighted average separation between the SS bond and stiff stilbene.magnified image
