摘要
4,5-Diphenyl, 4,5-di(4-methylphenyl), 4,5-di(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)imidazoles were synthesized. Oxidation of the obtained imidazoles with potassium ferricyanide in water-alcohol solution of alkali gave the corresponding dimers. The structures were characterized by IR, H-1 NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The dimers showed photochromism in solution on irradiation.
