Abstract

Valence isomerization of norbornadiene to quadricyclene has been studied under different experimental conditions in order to develop a suitable system for solar energy storage. In particular, a device has been tested which exploits the sorbent properties of many inclusion compounds; norbornadiene and a suitable sensitizer are eluted through a column containing deoxycholic acid, under solar irradiation. The observed ratio of yield of quadricyclene vs. by-products is significantly favourable with respect to an analogous solar irradiation of norbornadiene and sensitizer in solution.
