Stilbene 유도체인 trans-1,2-bispyrazylethylene에 대한 분광학적 연구를 행하였다. 보통의 자외선 흡수스펙트럼에서는 $n{ ightarrow}{pi}^*$ 흡수밴드는 에너지가 비슷한 ${pi}{ ightarrow}{pi}^*$ 흡수밴드에 가려져서 나타나지 않는데 2차 미분 스펙트럼과 저온(77˚K)에서의 스펙트럼으로 부터 $n{ ightarrow}{pi}^*$ 흡수 밴드를 확인할 수가 있었다. 또한 ${pi}{ ightarrow}{pi}^*$ 흡수밴드들의 전이에너지를 PPP-SCF-CI MO 방법으로 계산한 결과 스펙트럼에서 얻은 값과 잘 일치했다. 형광스펙트럼, 형광편광스펙트럼, 그리고 PPP-SCF-CI MO 방법에 의한 계산으로부터 형광을 내는 상태는 $^1({pi},;{pi}^*)$ 상태임을 알 수가 있었으며 이것은 형광에 대한 alkaline salt effect의 결과와 일치한다.
Spectroscopic studies of trans-1,2-bispyrazylethylene (BPE), one of the stilbene analogues, were carried out. In normal UV spectra, a distinct $n{ ightarrow}{pi}^*$ absorption band is missing because of a strong, nearly isoenergetic ${pi}{ ightarrow}{pi}^*$ absorption band. The second derivative and low temperature $(77^{circ}K)$ UV absorption spectra were taken and $n{ ightarrow}{pi}^*$ absorption band was identified by these methods. The transition energies of ${pi}{ ightarrow}{pi}^*$ transitions were calculated by Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP)-SCF-CI MO method. The calculated values showed good agreement with the observed spectral data. Luminescence studies were also carried out at low temperature. From the fluorescence spectra, fluorescence polarization studies, and PPP-SCF-CI MO calculation, the fluorescent state was determined to be a singlet $({pi},;{pi}^*)$ state. This conclusion is in good agreement with the results obtained from alkaline salt effects on the fluorescence of this compound.
