We designed a bispiropyran switchable molecule based on acridone. Using commercially available 3-bromoanisole and 2-amino-4-methoxybenzoic acid as starting materials, through a six-step synthetic route containing Ullmann biaryl amine condensation, Friedel-Crafts acylation, alkylation of the amine group in the resulting acridone core, regioselective double formylation at the ortho-position to the methoxy groups, demethylation of the two methoxy groups, double condensation with 1, 2, 3, 3-tetramethyl-3H-indolium iodide, the target bispiropyran switchable molecule was successfully synthesized. The UV/Vis spectra and fluorescence spectra of the target dual-switch molecule were studied. It was demonstrated that the bispiropyran molecule had obvious reversible photochromic behavior in dichloromethane solution. For more detail, the spiropyran unit of the designed molecule could be changed to the open-ring form upon UV light irradiation, and the open-ring form of the molecule could be changed to its closed-ring form again when it was placed in the dark. The molecule showed a high stability to acid in MeOH and CH₂Cl₂, and it had a slow acidichromic behaviour in MeCN. In addition, the molecule showed an acidichromic behaviour in MeCN/H₂O solution only when the pH was below 4. However, in the above chromic process, through the UV/Vis spectra we have not found the two states containing single-ring-opened form followed by dual-ring-opened form of the designed molecule.Further study was performed through the computer simulation, and the optimal structures for the dual-ring-closed form (SP-Ac-SP), single-ring-opened form (SP-Ac-MC) and dual-ring-opened form (MC-Ac-MC) of the target molecule in the photochromic process were calculated using B3LYP/6-31g(d) in vacuum. It was found that the SP-Ac-SP was more easily directly transformed to MC-Ac-MC, because the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG₁=7.2 kcal/mol) from SP-Ac-SP to SP-Ac-MC was much higher than that (ΔG₂=3.5 kcal/mol) from SP-Ac-MC to MC-Ac-MC. The relevant frontier molecular orbitals for the SP-Ac-SP and MC-Ac-MC of the designed molecule calculated using B3LYP/6-31g(d) in vacuum could further explain the detail of the chromic process. Our study will give inspiration to design new type of dual-switch molecules based on conjugate structure.
