Novel sugar-based azo dyes as multistimuli responsive supramolecular gelators and chemosensors

Some novel sugar-based and multistimuli responsive supramolecular gelators, containing azobenzene moieties were synthesized and characterized through their microscopic, rheological, and spectroscopic measurements. The sol-gel behavior of these low molecul

Multirings aromatic aldehyde liquid crystal with azo linkage and their photosensitivity in mesophase

Ten new rod-like aromatic aldehyde liquid crystalline molecules with azo linkage were synthesized, in which bi(trans-cyclohexyl), cyclohexyl phenyl, and biphenyl carboxylic acid mesogenic cores with terminal ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, and n-pentyl substituents were esterified with azo benzoic aldehyde. These molecules were designed in an attempt to construct a series of new azo liquid crystalline molecules to investigate the influence of ultraviolet (UV) light on their mesophase. All compounds have been characterized on the basis of their spectral data, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and hot stage polarizing optical microscope (HS-POM). All these compounds exhibited liquid crystalline phase that belonged to nematic and photosensitive properties. Their temperature ranges of mesophase are from 101°C to 150°C. Under irradiated 365 nm UV light, they showed photosensitivity in the solvent of methanol. Observed under HS-POM, the UV light also did change the textures of these compounds. The result showed that terminal ethyl is enough for these molecules to exhibit wider temperature range of mesophase, and these new molecules have photosensitivities observed under illumination of UV light not only in solution but also in mesophase due to the change of their structures from trans isomer to cis one.

Photoinduced processes of subphthalocyanine-diazobenzene-fullerene triad as an efficient excited energy transfer system

Photoinduced processes of a newly synthesized subphthalocyanine- diazobenzene-fullerene triad have been studied by the time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. On photo-excitation of subphthalocyanine (SubPc) moiety, the fluorescence quenching of SubPc was

Smaragdyrin-azobenzene conjugates: Syntheses, structure, and spectral and electrochemical properties

The syntheses, characterization, and spectral properties of smaragdyrin-azobenzene conjugates are reported. Our synthetic strategy involves linking the azobenzene group in one of the precursors to a dipyrromethane subunit, which was achieved by reaction o

A rodlike organogelator: Fibrous aggregation of azobenzene derivatives with a syn-chiral carbonate moiety

A chiral azobenzene derivative containing a cyclic syn-carbonate moiety functions as a gelator for various organic solvents; the dipole-dipole interaction drives the fibrous self-assembly of the rodlike gelator.

Synthesis and photochemical switching of the antiferroelectric liquid crystals containing a diazenediyl group

Photochromic antiferroelectric liquid crystals containing a diazene moiety were synthesized for the first time, and their photochemical switching behaviors were studied.
