Novel photochromic composite films have been successfully fabricated by dispersing pyrazolone derivative：1,3-Diphenyl-4-（3-chlorobenzal）-5-hydroxypyrazole 4-phenylsemicarbazone（la） into hydrosol of polyvinyl alcohol（PVA）.The microstructure,photochromic behaviors and thermal bleaching properties were investigated by Raman spectroscopy,X-ray powder diffraction（XRD）,field emission scanning electron microscopy（FE-SEM） and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy（UV-vis）.The results showed that la was not only blended but also well dispersed in the PVA polymer films with a suitable content of chromophore.Upon UV light irradiation,the composite films gradually changed from colorless to yellow and recovered fully to the initial state upon thermal bleaching.The time constants of photochromic reactions were almost the same as those of la observed in their crystalline state,indicating that the photochromic phenomenon is barely disturbed by the polymer matrix.

For rational comparison, the same structural EL devices based on these complexes, ITO/PVK (40 nm)/the complex (80 nm)/Mg: Ag (200 nm)/Ag (100 nm), were fabricated. Excluding the exciplex emission happens, the EL luminance usually increases with the increasing of PL efficiency.

The scope of stereochemistry recognition usually occurs near the chiral scaffold of a ligand or catalyst.Remote stereocontrol,which can surpass the limits of stereorecognition of remote prochiral centers,has long been a challenging object of great interest in asymmetric catalysis.The current work realized the remote stereocontrol of 1,7-zwitterion intermediates formed from Huang's o-amino aryl MBH carbonates.With simple and easily accessibleβ-ICD as the bifunctional catalyst,multifunctionalized tetrahydroquinoline derivatives could be synthesized via(4+2)cycloadditions with excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity under mild conditions.The strategy possesses broad substrate scope,and three types of electron-deficient enones are successfully applied.Mechanistic studies disclosed the Lewis base-catalyzed reaction pathway,and H-bonding between the catalyst and enones is crucial for long-range stereocontrol.Scale-up reaction and transformations of the tetrahydroquinoline products demonstrated the potential of this strategy.

Two novel N-heterocycle-containing benzotriazole compounds, 5-（5-chloro-2-benzotriazolyl）-6-hydroxy-l,4-dimethyl-3-car- bonitrile-2-pyddone （2） and 4-（5-chloro-2-benzotdazolyl）-5-methyl-2-phenyl-3-pyrazolone （4）, were synthesized from reactant 4- chloro-2-nitroaniline via diazotization, azo coupling, reductive cyclization and acidification. Their structures were confirmed by Fr-IR, 1H NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Their spectral properties were investigated and compared with that of a common commercial benzotriazole UV absorber Tinuvin 326.

Their anti-UV protection properties on polyester fabric were also evaluated and compound 4 was much superior to compound 2 due to its higher exhaustion.
