Abstract:
Supermolecular complex PCAMSTIL containing photosensitive unit (cinnamate) and fluorescent unit (stilbene) was prepared by ionic selfassembly (ISA) method. The structure of the complex was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The thermal stability and optical property of the complex was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis) and fluorescence spectium(FL). Irradiated by 266 nm polarized laser caused cinnamate group to undergo axisseletive [2+2] photocycloaddition, resulting in an alignment of cinnamate group perpendicular to the polarization direction leading to dichroism value of 0.103. The laserinduced orientation of cinnamate group had a cooperative effect on alignment of the stilbenebased fluorescent unit. So the fluorescence emitted by the oriented film was polarized and the ratio of anisotropic fluorescence was 1.73.
