Photochromic dimer from 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole
Objective The objective of the experiment is to dimerize the iophine product obtained from the previous step using either potassium ferricyanide or sodium hypochlorite as an oxidizing agent, in order to form a photochromic dimer. Background Photochromic dimers are molecules that can switch between two stable isomeric forms, known as the open and closed forms, … Read more
