Kinetics of thermal decoloration of a photomerocyanine in mixtures of protic and nonpolar solvents
The kinetics of thermal conversion of a photogenerated merocyanine into its more stable spiropyrane form was studied in mixtures of ethanol with nonpolar solvents, toluene, n-hexane or CO2. For solutions of ethanol concentration higher than ca. 1.5 M two decay rates are observable. Below that concen...

The kinetics of thermal conversion of a photogenerated merocyanine into its more stable spiropyrane form was studied in mixtures of ethanol with nonpolar solvents, toluene, n-hexane or CO2.

Below that concentration, the relative amplitude of the slow mode becomes negligible, compared to the fast, and the observed kinetics is monoexponential. As reported before in toluene-acetonitrile mixtures, the rate constant for the thermal decay in toluene-ethanol passes through a shallow maximum at low-ethanol concentrations. The activation energy and entropy of both processes were determined; the data corresponding to the fast process have a complex alcohol concentration dependence.
