Abstract
Photoinduced reversible intramolecular hydrogen-atom migration between 9H-fluorene and 1H-fluorene isolated in an Ar matrix is found by FTIR spectroscopy with an aid of DFT calculation. The forward isomerization from 9H-fluorene to 1H-fluorene occurs upon UV irradiation (λ ≥ 295 nm), while the backward isomerization occurs upon λ ≥ 320 nm light irradiation. The less stable isomer, 1H-fluorene, is identified by comparison of the measured IR spectrum with the corresponding simulated spectral pattern obtained at the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level. In addition, an IR spectrum of 9H-fluorene in the T1 state is measured during UV irradiation (λ ≥ 275 nm).
