Dipolar interaction model is not appropriate for the azobenzene derivatives due to the small distance between two “D-π-A” chains. Energy transfer model is suggested for explanation of the absorption red shift. Two necessary conditions for energy transfer were verified. In addition, bi-exponential florescence-delay behavior of the dimer as well as Bella's quantum chemistry calculation shows evidence of energy transfer.展开更多

H-aggregation of azo chromophores of PNANT in spin-coated film and self-assembled film were detected from UV-Vis spectra,and the degree of H-aggregation of PNANT in the self-assembled film was found to be higher than that in the spin-coated film.Dichroism was optically induced in the spin-coated film and self-assembled film upon the irradiation of a polarized Ar + laser beam at 488 nm.The orientational order parameter obtained was 0.15 for spin-coated film and 0.07 for the self-assembled film.The resulting dichroism detected by UV-Vis spectra exhibited long-term stability.展开更多
