Previously we described the synthesis of supramolecular donor–acceptor complexes of bis(18-crown-6)stilbene with bisammonium derivatives of heterocyclic compounds [1,2]. The complexes were shown to possess a high stability in solution due to the double macrocycle–ammonium ion interaction. They can be used as “off–on” fluorescent indicators for metal cations [2] and as convenient model systems to study ultrafast electron transfer reactions [3]. In order to evaluate the effect of the nature of the donor component on the properties of the supramolecular complexes, we synthesized bis(18-crown-6)azobenzene 1, a weaker electron donor in comparison with the analogous stilbene. The structure, thermodynamic stability and photochemical properties of complexes of azobenzene 1 with bisammonium compounds 2–4 were studied by different techniques including quantum-chemical modeling. It was found that the stability constants of complexes 1•(2–4) are lower (up to tenfold) in comparison with the corresponding complexes of bis(18-crown-6)stilbene. The quantum yield of E–Z photoisomerization of azobenzene 1 decreases by an order of magnitude upon complexation with viologen 2 (excitation in the region of the * absorption of 1). This fact is attributable to relatively fast excited-state electron transfer reaction between the complex components. The charge-transfer absorption band of complex 1•2 is unobservable because it lies between the more intense bands associated with the local p-p* and n-p* electronic transitions of 1. This work was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project № 14-13-00076) and the Russian Academy of Sciences (Branch of Chemistry and Material Sciences).
