Recent Process of Photo-responsive Materials with Aggregation-induced Emission

The research of photo-responsive materials, with changed absorption and emission under light stimulus, has drawn more and more attention due to their wide applications. However, most of them suffered from the notorious aggregation-caused quenching(ACQ) effect, which often led to the unconspicuous luminescent change in photo-responsive process. To solve this problem, the strategy of combining aggregation-induced emission(AIE) and photochromic properties was utilized, which largely enriched the phenomenon and application of photo-responsive materials. This short review summarized the recent progress of photo-responsive AIE materials with changed UV absorbance or PL phenomenon under UV-irradiation, including the types of molecular structures, internal mechanisms and the practical applications. Also, some outlooks were given on the further exploration of this field at the end of this paper.

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.     

Photo-responsive azo MOF exhibiting high selectivity for CO2 and xylene isomers

A combination of azo and acylamide ligands is used in the preparation of metal–organic frameworks.
