Characteristics and Optical Properties of the Azobenzene Functionlized Dendrimer in Organic Thin Monolayers

아조벤젠이 기능화된 덴드리머 유기단분자막의 광학적 성질과 특성

The functionlized dendrimer containing 48 azobenzene was synthesized. Many isolated featureless domains were explicitly observed even at the air-water interface. Also, these monolayers were representatively observed, showing the change of surface pressure with irradiation time and wavelength. In AFM images. the larger domains irregularly shaped structures on the top while the smaller ones were free from such defects. In the optical absorption spectra of the LB films by UV irradiation and heat treatment, only photoisomerization of the G4-48Az monolayers was observed, a decrease of absorbance peak without change of the spectral shape. This suggests that optical behavior and morphological change are affected by the functional group and the symmetric chain.
