设计合成了一种中心为三乙基氨基,酰胺基作为氢键连接基团,柔性的烷基链连接偶氮苯基团的含多种分子间弱相互作用的三枝状有机凝胶因子1.由于偶氮苯基团处于分子的外缘,在THF溶液中,凝胶因子1表现出良好的光致变色行为.凝胶性能测试中,分子间存在氢键作用、π-π相互作用等使得该化合物在醇类、有机酸类和乙腈等极性溶剂中极易形成稳定的有机凝胶.在少数的非极性溶剂,如正己烷和环己烷中也可以形成稳定凝胶,并且随着溶剂极性的不同,凝胶形貌呈现出规则的纤维状或带状结构.

关于脂族酰基过氧化物在苯中分解,形成的烷基自由基与苯反应生成烷基苯,文献中已有不少报道,而分解过程中由于烷基异构化可能形成烷基苯异构体的实验结果,则至今未见报道.我们用GC-MS法分离分析过氧化月桂酰(1)和过氧化丁酰(2)在苯中分解形成的烷基苯类化合物,都发现有少量氢原子重排产物.1在苯中分解形成的十一烷基苯的异构体为正十一烷基苯(3),2-苯基十一烷(4),3-苯基十一烷(5),4-苯基十一烷(6)和5-苯基十一烷(7);2在苯中分解形成正丙苯和异丙苯.烷基自由基在溶剂中发生自由基型氢重排,除1,5-氢迁移

分子刷聚合物伸展的高分子主链、高密度的侧链和较低的侧链空间缠结,使其展现出独特的流变学、力学性能和特殊的分子聚集状态,在纳米技术、表面科学等领域有着广泛的应用前景.基于同时含有2-羰基溴与炔基基团的大分子试剂聚2-((2-溴代丙酰氧基)甲基)丙烯酸丙炔酯,引发偶氮苯丙烯酸酯单体的原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP)与叠氮功能化的巴比妥酸衍生物的点击反应,合成了新型含偶氮苯侧链的分子刷聚合物聚丙烯酸酯-g-聚(6-(4-丁基-4′-氧偶氮苯)正己基丙烯酸酯)/巴比妥酸(PA-g-PAzo/Bar),研究了其在溶液中的自组装和光响应性行为.随着分子刷聚合物浓度的增加,聚集体由柱状胶束向复合胶束转变.由于光响应性偶氮苯侧链的存在,在紫外光的照射下偶氮苯生色团发生trans-cis异构化转变,促使柱状胶束融合形成多孔网状聚集体,同时球形复合胶束融合形成珍珠项链状聚集体.     

含偶氮苯侧基接枝共聚物的可控合成及其光响应性能研究

偶氮苯衍生物自组装单分子膜中的分子取响

利用反射红外光谱研究了金表面一系列具有不同碳链长度的偶氮苯巯基衍生物的自组装单分子膜.通过对比各向同性样品的透射谱和单分子膜的反射谱中各个吸收峰强度,定量地研究了分子中各部分的取向与分子结构的关系.我们分别提出了烷基链和偶氮基团取向计算的方法,利用该方法成功地求得了分子中各部分在膜的倾角.结果显示,当分子中烷基链长度增大时,碳链和偶氮苯基团相对于法线的倾斜逐渐加剧.这种倾角的变化归因于分子中碳链间范德华引力增大时,引起分子逐渐倾斜以达到最佳的范德华接触.同时研究发现,烷基链和偶氮基团受碳长度变化的影响并不相同.当分子中亚甲基数目增多时,烷基链的倾角迅速增大而偶氮苯倾角的增大则相对缓慢,这反映了它们在空间需求和本身刚性上的不同。

硫醇对炔属化合物的加成反应 Ⅲ.苯硫酚与硫醇乙酸对β-烷基苯乙炔的加成

苯硫酚与1-苯基丙炔-1及1-苯基丁炔-1在苯甲酰过氧化物或紫外光引发下顺利加成.当反应物用量为等克分子比时,加成物分别为1-苯基-2-苯硫基丙烯-1(Ⅰ)及1-苯基-2-苯硫基丁烯-1(Ⅱ);当用量为2∶1克分子比时,除生成上述1∶1加成物外,尚得2∶1加成物:1-苯基-2,2-二-(苯硫基)-丙烷(Ⅴ)及1-苯基-2,2-二-(苯硫基)-丁烷(Ⅵ).这些加成物的结构是借在酸性介质中与2,4-二硝基苯肼作用生成相应酮的2,4-二硝基苯腙而得到证明.这加成反应是按自由基机理进行,苯硫基联结在与烷基相邻的碳原子表明中间生成的自由基之稳定性是加成方向的决定因素,因为苯基的共轭效应比烷基为强. 竞争试验的结果表明,苯硫基对苯乙炔的加成比对1-苯基丙炔-1的加成快得多,这可归因于甲基的空间效应.当以苯硫酚与1-苯基丙炔-1及苯乙烯进行竞争时,只得炔烃的加成物,这表明炔烃的加成活性比烯烃大得多.后一结果是由于断裂三键中的一个π-键所需要的能量较断裂双键中的π-键所需要的能量为低的缘故.     

外端为偶氮苯基团的聚酰胺-胺树枝状分子对光和H~+的响应行为

合成了1到5代外端修饰有偶氮苯基团的聚酰胺-胺(PAMAM)树枝状分子.H-NMR、FTIR和元素分析等表明得到了目标产物,外端接枝率在70%~90%.结构分析表明经修饰的PAMAM分子在3代和4代之间存在一个结构转变.UV-Vis和H-NMR分析结构显示,在中性条件下,Gn-azo表现出类似于小分子偶氮苯基团的光响应行为.而在酸性条件下,偶氮苯基团的顺反异构转化率较质子化前低.包裹及释放实验表明,虽然G4-azo包裹水杨酸分子的能力弱于G4PAMAM,但它对于客体小分子具有缓释作用,光照使偶氮苯基团发生由反式到顺式的异构转化之后,缓释效应更明显.     

Design, synthesis, and photochemical behavior of poly(benzyl ester) dendrimers with azobenzene groups throughout their architecture

A new class of dendrons and dendrimers containing azobenzene units (bearing up to 29 azobenzene groups for four generations) were designed and synthesized with the convergent method, which uses azobenzene derivatives as monomers and benzyl ester groups as linkages leading to photoresponsive dendrons and dendrimers with azobenzene units throughout their architecture. Photochemical isomerization experiments revealed that all of the dendrons and dendrimers undergo trans-cis isomerization by irradiation and cis-trans isomerization by either irradiation or heating.     

Surface organization, light-driven surface changes, and stability of semifluorinated azobenzene polymers

A series of polymers with 4-perfluoroalkyl-modified azobenzene side groups was investigated for its light-induced changes in surface properties. The ultraviolet (UV) light activated trans to cis isomerization of the azobenzene group, and the influence of molecular order and orientation on this process were studied using near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and water contact angle measurements. Light-induced molecular reorganization in the near-surface region was studied by NEXAFS using in situ UV irradiation of polymer thin films. Differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray scattering studies showed that sufficiently long fluoroalkyl groups formed well-ordered smectic mesophases in the bulk, as well as on the surface, which was evidenced by NEXAFS. The disruption of mesogen packing by photoisomerization was found to be influenced by the fluoroalkyl segment length. Surfaces with perfluorohexyl and perfluorooctyl groups that showed high orientational order were also highly resistant to light-induced changes. In such cases, the trans-cis isomerization resulted in greater lowering of the azobenzene phenyl ring order parameters than the perfluoroalkyl order parameters. UV exposure caused reorientation of the phenyl rings of the azobenzene group, but the terminal perfluoroalkyl segments remained more or less ordered.     

Photochemically induced disturbance of the alkyl chain packing in vesicular membranes

In previous reports, we presented the synthesis and properties of double-tailed azobenzene-substituted phosphate amphiphiles (Kuiper et al. Synthesis 2003, 695 and Kuiper et al. Langmuir 2004, 20, 1152). We also reported that an ion channel can be regulated by trans-cis isomerization of these amphiphiles, which were incorporated in the membrane (Folgering et al. Langmuir 2004, 20, 6985). In the present study, the effect of trans-cis isomerization of both single- and double-tailed azobenzene-substituted amphiphiles on the aggregation and packing behavior has been studied. The phase transition temperature of a membrane and the thermal half-life times of the cis azobenzene-substituted amphiphiles in membranes have been measured. Furthermore, the synthesis and properties of single-tailed azobenzene-substituted phosphate amphiphiles are described and compared with those of the double-tailed analogues. The single-tailed azobenzene-substituted phosphates have a low solubility in water and form micelles, sheets, and crystals. In all cases the trans-cis isomerization leads to a disturbance of the chain packing. Both single- and double-tailed cis azobenzene-substituted phosphates lowered the main phase transition temperature of bilayer membranes. The effect increased when the azobenzene moiety was situated closer to the head group. Accordingly, the half-life times of the cis azobenzene group was shorter when the azobenzene group was positioned closer to the head group for both the single- and double-tailed amphiphiles. Interestingly, the thermal cis-trans isomerization of the single-tailed azobenzene-substituted phosphates was faster in a DOPC membrane than that for the free monomer in aqueous solution.     

Electric field-induced isomerization of azobenzene by STM

The electric field applied between the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and a metallic surface is shown to induce the reversible trans-cis isomerization of single azobenzene derivatives adsorbed on a Au(111) surface. The investigated molecule is symmetrically equipped with four tert-butyl groups, which decouple the azobenzene core from the metallic surface, facilitating the formation of highly ordered islands. Due to the spatial extension of the electric field, it is possible to switch many molecules within the same island simultaneously.     

Dynamic internal cavities of dendrimers as constrained media. A study of photochemical isomerizations of stilbene and azobenzene using poly(alkyl aryl ether) dendrimers

Dendritic microenvironments defined by dynamic internal cavities of a dendrimer were probed through geometric isomerization of stilbene and azobenzene. A third-generation poly(alkyl aryl ether) dendrimer with hydrophilic exterior and hydrophobic interior was used as a reaction cavity in aqueous medium. The dynamic inner cavity sizes were varied by utilizing alkyl linkers that connect the branch junctures from ethyl to n-pentyl moiety (C(2)G3-C(5)G3). Dendrimers constituted with n-pentyl linker were found to afford higher solubilities of stilbene and azobenzene. Direct irradiation of trans-stilbene showed that C(5)G3 and C(4)G3 dendrimers afforded considerable phenanthrene formation, in addition to cis-stilbene, whereas C(3)G3 and C(2)G3 gave only cis-stilbene. An electron-transfer sensitized trans-cis isomerization, using cresyl violet perchlorate as the sensitizer, also led to similar results. Thermal isomerization of cis-azobenzene to trans-azobenzene within dendritic microenvironments revealed that the activation energy of the cis- to trans-isomer was increasing in the series C(5)G3 < C(4)G3 相似文献   

Photocontrolled gel-to-sol-to-gel phase transitioning of meta-substituted azobenzene bisurethanes through the breaking and reforming of hydrogen bonds

An azobenzene derivative substituted at its meta positions with two urethane moieties linked to two cholesteryl ester units forms a gel that exhibits sol-gel phase transitions upon photoirradiation as a result of trans-cis isomerization of the azobenzene unit. During the sol-gel phase transitions, hydrogen bonds, which are partly responsible for stabilizing the gels, are broken or reformed. Using circular dichroism spectroscopy, we detected asymmetrical fibrous networks in the aggregates of these gelators.     

Synthesis and properties of amphiphilic photoresponsive gelators for aromatic solvents

A sugar-based photoresponsive supergelator, N-glycosylazobenzene that shows selective gelation of aromatic solvents is described. The partial trans-cis isomerization of the azobenzene moiety allows photoinduced chopping of the entangled gel fibers to short fibers, resulting in controlled fiber length and gel-sol transition. The gelator is useful for the selective removal of toxic aromatic solvents from water.     

Gold nanoparticle networks with photoresponsive interparticle spacings

Photoresponsive gold nanoparticle networks were prepared by functionalizing them with azobenzene derivatives. A network can be formed when a linker molecule constituting the azobenzene moiety suitably derivatized on either side with gold surface sensitive groups such as thiols and amines is added to the nanoparticle solution. It is shown that the interparticle spacing in the networks could be controlled by the reversible trans-cis isomerization of the azobenzene moiety induced by UV and visible light, respectively. The photoinduced variation in the interparticle spacings is inferred by the changes in the optical spectra of the gold nanoparticles which display a red or blue shift in the surface plasmon resonance peak depending on a decrease or increase in the interparticle spacing, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy images are in consonance with the evidence from the optical spectra.     

Photoresponsive porphyrin-imprinted polymers prepared using a novel functional monomer having diaminopyridine and azobenzene moieties

A novel photoresponsive functional monomer bearing diaminopyridine and azobenzene moieties was synthesized and applied to the preparation of photo-regulated molecularly imprinted polymers, which can recognize porphyrin derivatives through hydrogen bonding. The binding affinity of the imprinted cavities was regulated by UV irradiation, suggesting that azobenzene groups located inside the binding sites worked as photosensitizers and the trans-cis isomerization could regulate the affinity for the target compounds. Repetitive binding of the target compound to trans-IP and cis-IP was directly monitored by slab optical waveguide spectroscopy and the photo-mediated regulation of binding affinity was successfully confirmed.
