Resumen

Se sintetizó un nuevo politertiofeno sustituido por nitrospiropirano, que exhibe múltiples estados de color a través de la isomerización del espiropirano y la oxidación del polímero. Se logró el control electroquímico de las propiedades del polímero, con una conductividad de 0,4 S cm (-1).

Thermal and Photochemical Electrocyclic Reactions: Overview

Electrocyclic reactions are reversible reactions. They involve an intramolecular cyclization or ring-opening of a conjugated polyene. Shown below are two examples of electrocyclic reactions. In the first reaction, the formation of the cyclic product is favored. In contrast, in the second reaction, ring-opening is favored due to the high ring strain associated with cyclobutene formation.
