Two new cyclic ligands were synthesized: a ligand with twotrans-azobenzene moieties and one bipyridine moiety,trans2-oAB-O13, and a ligand with twotrans-azobenzene moieties and two bipyridine moieties,trans2-oAB-bpy. Both ligands underwent reversible trans-cis isomerization at the azobenzene moieties. The mole ratios of thetrans2form:trans-cisform:cis2form, evaluated by1H NMR spectroscopy of the photostationary states prepared by 1 h illumination, were 0.13:0.27:0.60 (365 nm irradiation) and 0.41:0.47:0.12 (436 nm irradiation) foroAB-O13, and 0.18:0.12:0.70 (365 nm irradiation) and 0.36:0.43:0.21 (436 nm irradiation) foroAB-bpy. Whentrans2-oAB-O13 was mixed with Cu(I), both the bipyridine units and the polyether chains coordinated to the copper center. Addition of a noncyclic bipyridine ligand,trans2-oAB-2OH, afforded a bis(bipyridine)copper(I) complex, [Cu(trans2-oAB-O13)(trans2-oAB-2OH)]BF4. The bis(bipyridine) ligand,trans2-oAB-bpy, formed a 1:1 complex with Cu(I), [Cu(trans2-oAB-bpy)]BF4. [Cu(cis2-oAB-bpy)]BF4did not undergo the ligand substitution reaction with a noncyclic ligand with two azobenzene moieties and one bipyridine moiety,oAB, whereas its thermal isomerization in the presence ofoAB caused the formation of [Cu(trans2-oAB-bpy)(trans2-oAB)]BF4, indicating that the isomerization and ligand exchange reactions synchronized via a conformational change of the cyclic ligand.
