Abstract
The photoreactions of selected styrylpyridine derivatives to the corresponding benzo[c]quinolizinium ions are described. It is shown that these reactions are more efficient in aqueous solution (97-44%) than in organic solvents (78-20% in MeCN). The quinolizinium derivatives bind to DNA by intercalation with binding constants of 6-11 × 104 M-1, as shown by photometric and fluorimetric titrations as well as by CD- and LD-spectroscopic analyses. These ligand-DNA complexes can also be established in situ upon irradiation of the styrylpyridines and formation of the intercalator directly in the presence of DNA. In addition to the DNA-binding properties, the tested benzo[c]quinolizinium derivatives also operate as photosensitizers, which induce DNA damage at relative low concentrations and short irradiation times, even under anaerobic conditions. Investigations of the mechanism of the DNA damage revealed the involvement of intermediate hydroxyl radicals and C-centered radicals. Under aerobic conditions, singlet oxygen only contributes to marginal extent to the DNA damage.

Abstract
Overcrowded bistricyclic aromatic enes (BAEs) have several conformations such as twisted and anti-folded conformers, and their stereochemistry and chromism have been studied in earnest. In this study, boron-containing heteromerous BAEs having various tricyclic structures were synthesized and their photophysical properties investigated. Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed that the introduction of a rigid fluorene unit resulted in a twisted conformer, whereas the introduction of flexible units such as thioxanthene and 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene units resulted in an anti-folded conformer. The absorption spectra of the heteromerous BAEs were dependent on the introduced tricyclic structures, suggesting the immense impact of the tricyclic structures on the electronic structures of BAEs. DFT calculations revealed the large effect of the flexibility of the tricyclic structures on the thermodynamic stability of the conformers. In addition, the boron-containing heteromerous BAEs underwent photocyclization reactions, indicating their potential application as precursors of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and helical aromatic materials.

Abstract
Photocyclization is demonstrated as a powerful tool for building complicated polycyclic molecules. And efficient photocyclization is competent as an artful strategy to develop photo-responsive smart materials. Herein, an efficient free radical-mediated photocyclization for triphenylphosphindole oxide (TPPIO) derivatives to generate tribenzophosphindole oxide (TBPIO) derivatives at ambient condition is reported. The reaction mechanism and substituent effect on photocyclization efficiency are thoroughly investigated. Additionally, photophysical and photochemical properties of TPPIO and TBPIO derivatives are measured for comparison and deeply deciphered by theoretical calculation. TPPIO derivatives own typical aggregation-induced emission feature but barely generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), while TBPIO derivatives experience aggregation-caused quenching but show efficient Type I ROS generation capacity. Further, in vitro experiments demonstrate that this photo-conversion can efficiently occur in situ in living cells to activate photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect to trigger lipid peroxidation with selective fluorescence "light up" in lipid droplet area under continuous irradiation. This work extends the optoelectronically and biologically interesting phosphindole oxide-containing π-conjugated systems through an efficient synthetic strategy, provides in-depth mechanistic descriptions in the aspects of reaction and property, and further presents their great potentials for photoactivated and self-reported PDT.

Abstract
For the first time, we elaborated a method for the synthesis of pyrimidines containing an allomaltol unit. The suggested approach is based on the reaction of 2-(1-(dimethylamino)-3-oxo-3-arylprop-1-en-2-yl)-3-hydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-ones with cyanamide. The photochemical behavior of the obtained pyrimidines was investigated. It was shown that for the hydroxy derivatives the main pathway of phototransformation is a 6π-electrocyclization of the 1,3,5-hexatriene system and subsequent [1,9]-H sigmatropic shift leading to dihydrobenzo[h]pyrano[2,3-f]quinazolines. At the same time, for methylated analogues the photoreaction proceeds in two directions resulting in the formation of a mixture of the corresponding dihydrobenzo[h]pyrano[2,3-f]quinazolines and polyaromatic products. The obtained dihydro derivatives are stable compounds and do not undergo aromatization upon further UV irradiation. The structures of two of the dihydrobenzo[h]pyrano[2,3-f]quinazolines were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Based on the performed studies, a two-stage telescopic method for the synthesis of polyaromatic benzo[h]pyrano[2,3-f]quinazolines including the initial photocyclization of the starting pyrimidines and the final dehydration was proposed.

Abstract
The conical intersection (CI) governs the ultra-fast relaxation of excited states in a radiationless manner and are observed mainly in photochemical processes. In the current work, we investigated the effects of substituents on the reaction dynamics for the conversion of gauche-1,3-butadiene to bicyclobutane via photochemical electrocyclization. We incorporated both electron withdrawing (-F) and donating (-CH3 ) groups in the conjugated system. In our study, we optimized the minimum energy conical intersection (MECI) geometries using the multi-configurational state-averaged CASSCF approach, whereas, to study the ground state reaction pathways for the substituted derivatives, dispersion corrected, B3LYP-D3 functional was used. The non-adiabatic surface hopping molecular dynamics simulations were performed to observe the behaviour of electronic states involved throughout the photoconversion process. The results obtained from the multi-reference second-order perturbation correction of energy at the XMS-CASPT2 level of theory, topography analysis, and non-adiabatic dynamics suggest that the -CH3 substituted derivatives can undergo faster thermal conversion to the product in the ground state with a smaller activation energy barrier compared to -F substituted derivative. Our study also reveals that the GBUT to BIBUT conversion follows both conrotatory and disrotatory pathways, whereas, on substitution with -F or -CH3 , the conversion proceeds via the conrotatory pathway.

Abstract
In this research, the synthesis, photochemistry, and computational study of new cis- and trans-isomers of amino-thienostilbenes is performed to test the efficiency of their production and acid resistance, and to investigate their electronic structure, photoreactivity, photophysical characteristics, and potential biological activity. The electronic structure and conformations of synthesized thienostilbene amines and their photocyclization products are examined computationally, along with molecular modeling of amines possessing two thiophene rings that showed inhibitory potential toward cholinesterases. New amino-styryl thiophenes, with favorable photophysical properties and proven acid resistance, represent model compounds for their water-soluble ammonium salts as potential styryl optical dyes. The comparison with organic dyes possessing a trans-aminostilbene subunit as the scaffold shows that the newly synthesized trans-aminostilbenes have very similar absorbance wavelengths. Furthermore, their functionalized cis-isomers and photocyclization products are good candidates for cholinesterase inhibitors because of the structural similarity of the molecular skeleton to some already proven bioactive derivatives.

Abstract
A metal- and catalyst-free photo-promoted cyclization of properly substituted vinyl selenides was developed using UVA irradiation. A total of eighteen new C3-unsubstituted 2-selanyl benzochalcogenophenes (benzofurans, benzothiophenes and benzoselenophenes) were prepared in 30-86% yield after irradiation with UVA at room temperature. The usefulness of the title compounds was demonstrated in the easy functionalization of the remaining free C-H bond of the benzochalcogenophenes to form new C-Se and C-Br bonds by simple procedures. Furthermore, the reaction can be performed under natural sunlight irradiation and the solvent is easily reused further in several subsequent runs.

Abstract
The derivatization of perylenediimides (PDIs) by bay decoration is essential for the development of PDI-based semiconductors owing to their excellent photoelectric properties. Herein, four bis-azabenz-annulated PDIs (bis-AzaBPDIs) are concisely synthesized in high yields through ultraviolet-induced photocyclization, where the reaction processes including aldimine condensation, cyclization, and oxidative re-aromatization are investigated. The optical characterizations and theoretical simulation reveal that the unique properties of the four bis-AzaBPDIs are comparable to their parent PDI. Organic field effect transistors with compounds 2, 3, or 4 as active layers indicated that all compounds showed unipolar electron transport properties with the mobilities of 1.1×10-3 , 5.8×10-4 , and 8.5×10-6 cm2 V-1 s-1 , respectively. These results suggest the great potential of bis-AzaBPDIs as organic semiconductors. The easy preparation approach reported in this work would renew research interest in developing bis-AzaBPDI-based optoelectronic molecules.

Abstract
Fused polycyclic aromatic compounds are interesting materials for organic electronics applications. To fine-tune photophysical or electrochemical properties, either various substituents can be attached or heteroatoms (such as N or S) can be incorporated into the fused aromatic backbone. Coronenes and heterocoronenes are promising compounds in this respect. Up until now, the possibilities for varying the attached fused heteroaromatics at the coronene core were quite limited, and realizing both electron-withdrawing and -donating rings at the same time was very difficult. Here, a series of pyridine, anisole and thiophene annulated tetraareno[a,d,j,m]coronenes has been synthesized by a facile two-step route that is a combination of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and a following cyclization step, starting from three different diarenoperylene dibromides. The contorted molecular π-planes of the obtained cata-condensed tetraarenocoronenes were analyzed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and the photophysical and electrochemical properties were systematically investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy and cyclovoltammetry.

Abstract
The oxidative photocyclization of aromatic Schiff bases was investigated as a potential method for synthesis of phenanthridine derivatives, biologically active compounds with medical applications. Although it is possible to prepare the desired phenanthridines using such an approach, the reaction has to be performed in the presence of acid and TEMPO to increase reaction rate and yield. The reaction kinetics was studied on a series of substituted imines covering the range from electron-withdrawing to electron-donating substituents. It was found that imines with electron-withdrawing substituents react one order of magnitude faster than imines bearing electron-donating groups. The 1H NMR monitoring of the reaction course showed that a significant part of the Z isomer in the reaction is transformed into E isomer which is more prone to photocyclization. The portion of the Z isomer transformed showed a linear correlation to the Hammett substituent constants. The reaction scope was expanded towards synthesis of larger aromatic systems, namely to the synthesis of strained aromatic systems, e.g., helicenes. In this respect, it was found that the scope of oxidative photocyclization of aromatic imines is limited to the formation of no more than five ortho-fused aromatic rings.

Abstract
In order to prepare novel polycyclic derivatives of bicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene systems fused with a thiophene ring, photochemical cyclization and aldol condensation reactions were carried out. The starting substrates were easily obtained by a Vilsmeier–Haack reaction of bicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene thiophene derivatives with dimethylformamide. From the obtained carbaldehydes, novel methyl, methoxy, and cyano-substituted styryl thienobenzobicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene derivatives were synthesized through Wittig reactions and subjected to photochemical cyclization, in terms of obtaining the new annulated structures. As part of this study, the aldol reaction of the starting 2-substituted carbaldehyde with acetone was also performed, which produced the thieno-fused benzobicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene compound with an extended conjugation.

Abstract
Phosphahelicenes with thiophosphinic acid and ester functions have been obtained by the oxidative photocyclisation of olefins bearing both a benzophenanthrene and a benzophosphole unit. When the method has been extended to olefins bearing a partially saturated benzophospholene unit, a divergent regioselectivity of the photocyclisation step has been observed, leading to new helicenes in which the phosphorus function is located on the external rim of the helical backbone. The observed regioselectivity correlates well with the free-valence numbers of the atoms involved in the photocyclisation reaction (DFT calculations).

Abstract
A benzoquinone compound was unintentionally synthesized by photocyclization and subsequent oxidation in air while attempting to transform the E isomer of a nicotinamide derivative to its Z isomer. The chemical and molecular structures of the product was established crystallographically. The surprising synthesis, chromatographic purification and comprehensive characterization of this compound including single crystal structural analysis are reported and its structure including crystal packing is discussed in detail. The title compound, C14H10N2O, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with four molecules in the unit cell. All 17 non-H atoms of one molecule lie essentially in one plane. In the unit cell, two pairs of molecules are exactly coplanar, while the angle between these two orientations is close to perfectly perpendicular at 87.64 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules adopt a 50:50 crisscross arrangement, which is held together by two nonclassical and two classical intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen-bonding network together with off-centre π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine and outermost benzene rings, stack the molecules along the b-axis direction.

Abstract
Photochemical oxidative cyclodehydrogenation reactions are a versatile class of aromatic ring-forming reactions. They are tolerant to functional group substitution and heteroatom inclusion, so can be used to form a diverse range of extended polyaromatic systems by fusing existing ring substituents. However, despite their undoubted synthetic utility, there are no existing models-computational or heuristic-that predict the outcome of photocyclisation reactions across all possible classes of reactants. This can be traced back to the fact that "negative" results are rarely published in the synthetic literature and the lack of a general conceptual framework for understanding how photoexcitation affects reactivity. In this work, we address both of these issues. We present experimental data for a series of aromatically substituted pyrroles and indoles, and show that quantifying induced atomic forces upon photoexcitation provides a powerful predictive model for determining whether a given reactant will photoplanarise and hence proceed to photocyclised product under appropriate reaction conditions. The propensity of a molecule to photoplanarise is related to localised changes in charge distribution around the putative forming ring upon photoexcitation. This is promoted by asymmetry in molecular structures and/or charge distributions, inclusion of heteroatoms and ethylene bridging and well-separated or isolated photocyclisation sites.

Abstract
Aromatic hydroxamic acids (Ar-CO-NOH-Ar') were used as bidentate chelating ligands to generate the corresponding boron hydroxamate complexes, which were subsequently transformed into nitrogen-containing helicenes (azahelicenes) using an oxidative photocyclization method that is frequently used for stilbene-type (Ar-CH=CH-Ar') precursors of carbohelicenes. The nitrogen atom of the hydroxamate linker was thus directly embedded into the helicene core without using nitrogen-containing aromatic rings in the stilbene-type precursors. In a batch photoreaction, aza[4]helicenes were readily and efficiently prepared, but aza[6]helicenes underwent severe decomposition upon irradiation. Alternatively, a continuous flow photoreactor was employed to furnish an amide-type aza[6]helicene.

Abstract
Nonadiabatic photocyclization is the fundamental step underlying photoswitching and light-assisted bond formation within diarylethylenes, yet the details of the nuclear dynamics leading to cyclization remain unclear. We have examined the ultrafast excited-state dynamics of o-terphenyl (OTP) and 1,2-diphenylcyclohexene (DPCH) in solution to determine how variation in structural constraints impacts the course of nonadiabatic photocyclization specifically in stilbenoids. Measured spectral dynamics reflect cyclization through a S1-to-S0 transition for both systems on picosecond time scales, with excited-state decay appreciably faster for DPCH versus OTP. Supportive ab initio calculations reveal a higher energetic penalty in OTP versus DPCH for reaching the lowest-energy conical intersection from the S1 minimum; this penalty is associated primarily with twisting about the carbon-carbon bond that bridges terminal phenyl groups, a structural change that has a critical role in nonadiabatic cis-trans isomerization of diarylethylenes. Findings provide a new experimental perspective on the elusive nuclear dynamics underlying cis-stilbene photocyclization.
