Artifical Light-Driven Chiral Molecular Switches Based on Halogenated and Cyclic Azo-Binaphthyl Derivatives

Abstract Details

2020, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Chemical Physics.
Development of light-driven funcational materials capable of dynamic and reversible tunable properties is gaining broad attention. Towards this endeavor, I have made efforts to design, synthesize, and characterize new light-driven chiral molecular switches, which are capable to induce tunable self-assembled helical superstructures in liquid crystals. The induced helical superstructures can be tuned by various stimuli, such as light, electric field, magnetic field, and mechanical force. Among them, light is of particular importance as it possesses precise, spatial, and non-invasive advantages.This dissertation discusses the successful synthesis of photoresponsive chiral molecular switches, which have been applied in diverse light-tunable self-assembled helical superstructures.
