H-AGGREGATION AND PHOTO-RESPONSIVE BEHAVIOR OF AN AZO POLYELECTROLYTE

By using spectroscopic characteristics of azo chromophores in different states as a ‘probe',H-aggregation of the azo chromospheres of a polyelectrolyte poly{2-4-(4′-ethoxyphenylazo)phenoxy]ethyl acrylate-co-acrylic acid｝(PEAPE) aqueous solutions and its effect on photo-responsive behavior were studied.Compared with the azo polyelectrolytes in DMF,PEAPE in H 2O showed an obvious blue-shift of the maximum absorbance due to H-aggregation of the azo chromophores formed in the solution.There also exists H-aggregation of the azo chromospheres in PEAPE solution in DMF/H 2O,and the degree of H-aggregation depends on the ratio of DMF and H 2O.The UV-Vis spectra of PEAPE aqueous solution change with different degrees of functionalization of the azo chromophores.With the degree of functionalization increase,the λ max of PEAPE gradually blue shifts,which suggests the degree of H-aggregation increase.H-Aggregation of the azo chromospheres results in a slower photo-isomerization rate and lower photo-isomerization efficiency of the azo polyelectrolyte PEAPE.The photo-isomerization kinetics of the PEAPE aqueous solution doesn't obey the first order exponential decay function,which also indicates that the coexistence of H-aggregates and “isolated” azo chromospheres in the system.
