Reversible fluorescence modulation through the photoisomerization of an azobenzene-bridged perylene bisimide cyclophane
Guanghui Ouyang, David Bialas, Frank Würthner
Abstract
An azobenzene-bridged perylene bisimide cyclophane was designed and synthesized, which showed reversible fluorescence intensity switching under light-irradiation due to cooperative adjustments of PBI–PBI and PBI–Azo interactions.
