Interfacial Behavior of Giant Amphiphiles Composed of Azobenzene and Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane

Giant amphiphiles containing azobenzene and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) units are synthesized by linking 4,4'-azodianiline (ADA) and POSS derivatives by stepwise amidation and further modification. The synthesized giant amphiphiles are photoresponsive and show trans-cis isomeriz...

Zusammenfassung:Giant amphiphiles containing azobenzene and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) units are synthesized by linking 4,4'-azodianiline (ADA) and POSS derivatives by stepwise amidation and further modification. The synthesized giant amphiphiles are photoresponsive and show trans-cis isomerization under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. These giant amphiphiles are spread on the air-water interface and compressed by the barrier without and under UV irradiation. By compression, the giant amphiphiles undergo a phase transition from gas (G), liquid expanded (LE), liquid condensed (LC), and solid (S) to a final collapse on the water surface. The giant amphiphiles are cis-isomer-rich under UV irradiation and are trans-isomer-rich without UV irradiation. The trans-isomers are straight-shaped, while the cis-isomers are bent, and hence, their phase transition behaviors on the water surface exhibit a distinct difference
