Azobenzene-Containing Schiff-Bases—Syntheses and Dyes Applications
Estelle Léonard, China Takeda, Takashiro Akitsu
Abstract
Azo-Schiff bases contain an azo photochrome showing isomerization accompanying with color change, and an imine moiety (which can contribute to the metal complexation capability). The syntheses of these molecules will be described, and their dyes applications will be discussed, such as for fuel cells, as photometric or colorimetric sensors. In addition, liquid crystals and their antibacterial efficiencies will also be discussed.
