Paragraph 0049; 0050; 0051, (2017/01/17)
The invention discloses an azobenzene compound and a synthesis method thereof.The synthesis method in the technical scheme includes the steps that 4-nitrophenol, halohydrin and potassium hydroxide serve as raw materials to synthesize p-nitrobenzene oxygen alcohol; the p-nitrobenzene oxygen alcohol, iron powder and ammonium chloride are reacted to obtain p-aminophenyl oxygen alcohol; a typical diazo coupling reaction is carried out to obtain solid product 4-acrylic acid (N-methyl amino) ethyl alcohol-4'-aminoethanol-azobenzene; the products, 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide and triethylamine are reacted to obtain the final product 4-acrylic acid (N-methyl amino) ethyl alcohol-4'-bromoisobutyric acid alcohol ester base-azobenzene, and washing and vacuum drying are carried out.The azo compound contains azobenzene photochromic groups, carbon-carbon double bonds and active-tail-end bromine atoms at the same time, can serve as a self-trigger monomer to synthesize branched polymers containing the functional azobenzene structures with the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method, and has potential application photoresponse polymers.
Molecular rulers: New families of molecules for measuring interfacial widths

Homologous series of solvatochromic neutral alcohols and ionic sulfates are synthesized and characterized. Each surfactant series consists of hydrophobic, p-nitroanisole-based chromophores attached to polar or ionic headgroups by n-alkyl spacers. UV absorption measurements show that the optical properties of surfactant chromophores closely track those of the parent chromophore. Interfacial tension measurements are used to calculate surface excess concentrations of ionic surfactants adsorbed to an aqueous-cyclohexane interface. With a hydrophobic chromophore, a hydrophilic headgroup, and a variable-length, alkyl spacer, these surfactants have the potential to function as molecular rulers: probes of molecular-scale variation in solvation forces across condensed-phase interfaces. Changing the separation between the hydrophobic, solvatochromic probe and the hydrophilic headgroup should enable different members of a homologous series to span different interfacial widths, thus exposing the chromophore to different chemical environments. This idea is explored by using surface-specific, nonlinear optical spectroscopy. Resonant second harmonic spectra of p-nitroanisole and the surfactant product 4a adsorbed to an aqueous-cyclohexane interface show the surfactant spectrum blue-shifted 9 nm relative to the spectrum of adsorbed p-nitroanisole. On the basis of chromophore solvatochromism, these results are consistent with a less polar environment surrounding the surfactant chromophore. Significant differences in interfacial solvation resulting from a ~5 A separation between the surfactant headgroup and chromophore support recently proposed models of molecularly sharp, microscopically flat aqueous-alkane interfaces.
