General description

9,10-Anthracenedicarbonitrile (DCA, ADC) is an anthracene derivative. Photochemical reactions of DCA in MeCN-MeOH or MeCN-H2O containing hydroxides or methoxides affords 9-methylimino-10-anthracenecarbonitrile. It participates in the generation of nucleophilic α-hydroxymethyl radicals from α-silyl ethers by irradiation. Binding energy of 9,10-anthracenedicarbonitrile adsorbed onto graphene is -1.23eV.

Application

9,10-Anthracenedicarbonitrile may be used as photosensitizer to investigate the photoisomerization of trans-stilbene (TS) in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/benzyl alcohol (BA)/H2O system.

Photoisomerization of trans-stilbene (TS) was investigated in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/benzyl alcohol (BA)/H(2)O systems in order to establish the relationship between the reaction yields and the compositions and structures of molecular organized assemblies. The results show that, in SDS/BA/H(2)O systems
