1,4,7-Triazacycl[3.3.3] azine (1, R = H) and its 2,5,8-trimethyl derivative 1 (R = Me) are formed in two steps, the condensation of ammonia with acrolein (R = H) or crotonaldehyde (R = Me) and dehydrogenation of the product on Pd/C catalyst. The symmetrical (C3h), purple-colored heterocycles 1 have been characterized by spectroscopic methods (1H and 13C NMR, ESR of the radical anions, PES, and UV/vis absorption and emission). Parent 1 (R = H) is moderately soluble and stable in all solvents from hexane to water, and the three peripheral N atoms are sequentially protonated in increasingly acidic solutions (pKa = 3.46, -2.2, -7.2). A pronounced blue shift of the first absorption band is observed with increasing solvent polarity, with increasing protonation, upon methyl substitution (1, R = H .fwdarw. R = Me), and even upon fusion with three benzo groups (1 .fwdarw. tricycloquinazoline (2)). Compounds 1 give rise to a weak blue fluorescence emission from the second .pi..pi.* excited singlet state S2, .vphi.f = (5 .+-. 1) .times. 10-4 (R = H), .vphi. .simeq. 1 .times. 10-4 (R = Me), as well as a very weak red fluorescence from S1. The energy gap between the lowest .pi..pi.* excited singlet and triplet states, S1 and T1, is very small (.DELTA. E < 10 k J/mol) and the lifetime of T1 is unusually short (3.tau. < 1 .mu.s). A simple MO model describing the .pi. electronic structure of cycl[3.3.3.] azines serves well to rationalize the physical and chemical properties of the triaza derivatives 1.
