Dioxygen binding and homogeneous catalytic oxidation of hydrazobenzene were investigated by employing tetradentate Schiff base Cobalt(II) complexes such as Co(II)(SED)$(Py)_2$, Co(II)(SOPD)$(Py)_2$ and Co(II)(SND)$(Py)_2$ in saturated oxygen methanol solvent. The major product of hydrazobenzene ($H_2$AB) oxidation by catalysts of superoxo type [Co(III)(SED)(Py)$O_2$] and [Co(III)(SOPD)(Py)$O_2$] complexes are trans-azobenzene (t-AB) and rate constants k for oxidation reaction was 7.692 ${\times}$ $10^{-2}$ M/sec for [Co(III)(SED)(Py)$O_2$] and 5.076 ${\times}$ $10^{-2}$ M/sec for [Co(III)(SOPD)(Py)$O_2$]. But cis-azobenzene (c-AB) are obtained as a major product with ${\mu}$-peroxo type [Co(III)(SED)(Py)]$_2O_2$ catalyst, and rate constant k is 1.266 ${\times}$ $10^{-2}$ M/sec. The rate constants of oxidation reaction has been studied spectrophotometrically and the rate law established. A mechanism involving a intermediate activated complexes of catalyst, hydrazobenzene and oxygen has been proposed. $H_2$AB + Co(II)(Schiff base)$(Py)_2$ + $O_2$ ${\rightleftharpoons}_{MeOH}^K$ Co(III)(Schiff base)(Py)$O_2$${\cdot}$$H_2$AB + Py $\longrightarrow^k$ Co(II)(Schiff base)$(Py)_2$ + t-AB + $H_2O_2$(Scchiff base : SED and SOPD). $H_2$AB + 2Co(II)(SND)$(Py)_2$ + $O_2$ ${\rightleftharpoons}_{MeOH}^K$ [Co(III)(SND)(Py)]$_2O_2$${\cdot}$H_2$AB + 2Py ${\longrightarrow}^k$ (Co(II)(SND)$(Py)_2$ + c-AB + $H_2O_2$.

The photoisomerization of functional polyimide was investigated in the various temperatures and UV(360nm) & visible(450nm) light irradiation. The absorption spectrum of azobenzene containing polyamic acid in a mixture of N,N-dimethylacetamide and benzene(1:1 by volume) solution was induced photoisomerization by UV and visible light irradiation. The absorption spectrum of LB films are also induced photoisomerization by UV and visible light irradiation.

We have investgated the photoisomerization using light irradiation 8A5H-phospholipid( L-$\alpha$-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine[DMPC], L-$\alpha$-dilauroylphosphatidylcholine[DLPC]mixture LB film accumulated by monolayer on an ITO. We determined electrochemical measurement by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system, An Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode measured in $NaClO_{4}$ solution at a variable concentration and variable number layers LB film. The scan rate was 100mV/s.

아조벤젠 고분자는 가역적 광이성화 과정에 의한 광유도 복굴절을 일으키는 물질로 광정보저장용 및 광소자용 매질로서 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 일반적으로 아조벤젠 고분자는 rod-like 형태의 안정한 trans 상과 banana-like 형태의 준 안정한 cis 상의 이성체가 존재하고 이 두 이성체는 광에 의해 여기 되어 서로 다른 이성체로의 이성화가 일어나는데, 특히 막대 모양의 trans 상의 분자가 여기 시키는 광의 편광 방향에 수직으로 정렬하면서 복굴절이 유도되며 cis 상의 분자는 복굴절의 유도와 무관하다고 알려져 있다.

This paper describes optimum conditions for depositing Langumuir Blodgett(LB) films. $\pi$-A isotherm characteristics were studied with the following species, $C_{18}$-Quinolium(TCNQ), $C_{22}$-Quinolium(TCNQ), Azobenzene, Arachidic Acid, by varing length of alkyl chains, temperacture, pH, spreading amount, barrier moving speed and etc. We have observed the change of $\pi$-A isotherm depending on the above variations. From there we investigate the depositing conditions of LB films for each material.

Displacement current measuring technique has been applied on the study of monolayers of functional polyimide containing azobenzene derivatives. The displacement current was generated from monolayers on the water surface by monolayer compression and expansion. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule was about $70{\AA}^2$ and $100{\AA}^2$. Displacement currents were investigated in connection with monolayer of long chain alkylamines. It was found that the maximum of displacement current appeared at the molecular area just before the initial rise of surface pressure in compression cycles of polyamic acid and long chain alkylamines.

Techniques measuring Maxwell displacement current (MDC) and LB films surface measuring technique have been applied to the study of monolayers of polyamic acid containing azobenzene. MDCs was generated from monolayers on the water surface by monolayer compression and expansion. It was generated when the area per molecule was about $103{\AA}^2\;and\;78{\AA}^2$ just before the initial rise of the surface pressure during the 1st and 2nd mixed monolayer compressions cycle, respectively. It was the maximum of MDCs appeared at the molecular area just before the initial rise of surface pressure in compression cycles, and we have found that the increase of aggregations causes the noticeable increase of the surface roughness.

We have investgated UV-Vis absorbance to observe the photoisomerization using the mixture solutions in chloroform and LB monolayers mixed with DLPE and 8A5H containing azobenzene which showed reversible cis-trans photoisomerization irradiated by alternate lights. We have found that the absorbance spectrums of the mixture solutions and LB monolayers were reversibly induced to cis-trans photoisomerization irradiated by alternate lights. In addition, the absorbance of both solution and LB monolayer mixed with 8A5H and DLPE were reversibly by alternate temperatures. As a results, the 1:1(by volume) mixture ratio of 8A5H and DLPE was more flexible and reversible cis-trans photoisomerization than the others.

Maxwell-displacement-current (MDC) measuring technique has been applied for the investigation of monolayers of poly(vinyl alcohol)s bearing azobenzene side-chains (6Az5PVA) mixed with p-pentyl-p'-cyano-biphenyls (5CBs) on a water surface. For mixed monolayers containing trans-form 6Az5PVA and LCs, displacement current due to photo isomerization was not generated with alternative photo-irradiation with UV and svisible light. In contrast, for mixed monolaters containing cis-form 6Az5PVA and LCs, displacement current was generated. Finally, it was found that the alignment layers deposited in cis-form could photoregualte the orientation of LCs.
