Anisotropic Fluorescence Emission of Ionic Complex Induced by the Orientation of Azobenzene Unit
A series
of azobenzene-containing fluorescent complexes with stilbene fluorescent
unit were prepared based on the ionic self-assembly approach. The
incorporation of the stilbene unit did not change the lamellar structure
of the azobenzene-containing complex. Under pulsed laser irradiation,
the azobenzene group oriented in the direction perpendicular to the
laser polarization, and as a result, the fluorescent stilbene unit
was cooperatively oriented following the direction of azobenzene group
orientation. This oriented complex films presented anisotropic emission
of fluorescence, and the anisotropic ratio of fluorescence increases
with the increase of the content of azobenzene unit in the complex
