Photomodulated Morphologies in Halogen Bond-Driven Assembly during Gel-Sol Transition.
Macromolecular Rapid Communications 2018 October 23
Photoresponsive supramolecular gels with various applications are being constantly pursued; however, achieving well-defined morphology changes of gels via light irradiation remains a formidable challenge. In this study, a gel is prepared through halogen bond between azopyridine-containing Azopy-C10 and 1,4-tetrafluorodiiodobenzene. The gel exhibits gel-sol transition due to trans-cis isomerization of the azopyridine moiety upon UV irradiation. During this transition, the morphologies vary from flake to fluffy bobble-like and finally to peony-like with increasing exposure time, which is difficult to achieve in traditional assembly systems. The microstructure change is attributed to the variations of cis-isomer content and halogen-bonding strength. The supramolecular gel provides a novel method to achieve photomodulated morphologies and broadens the applications of such kind of materials, ranging from information storage to high-tech anticounterfeit.
