Abstract:
Besides covalent bond [1], the non-covalent interactions are expected to drive the photo-induced behavior. The data presented here in this article shows the effect of the azobenzene ratio to photo-induced deformation behaviors of aggregates self-assembled from poly (styrene-stat-4-vinylpyridine) (PS-stat-P4VP) and azobenzene (AZO) 4-phenylazophenol, which are connected with hydrogen bonding interaction, confirmed by 13C-NMR spectra and FTIR spectra. The average major-to-minor axis ratio (l/d) (l represent long axis of ellipsoid and d represent minor axis) could reveal the deformation degree of the aggregates [2]. The synthesis process of PS-stat-P4VP/AZO was based on Wang et al. [3].
