Molecularly ordered states of molecules often possess markedly different optical, chemical and physical properties compared to those of the individual molecules. When subjected to special self-assembly conditions, individual molecules can aggregate to form various nano/micro shapes, such as micelles, vesicles, tubes, wires and helixes. If the constituent molecules contain photoresponsive groups, the resulting supramolecular architectures often have meritorious features such as reversible phase transitions and sensory functions. In this context, photoresponsive molecular systems containing azobenzene chromophores are especially interesting and, as a result, they have been extensively studied. In this symposium, some recent achievements in the area of photoresponsive supramolecule, focusing on our results, will be presented. |
