Thermal and light control of the chiral order of azopolymers
Resumen: The control of the chiroptical properties of two azopolymers, which contain chiral terminal alkyl chains, by means of thermal and light irradiation processes has been studied. Both UV–vis and CD spectra of films and dichloromethane (DCM)/hexane solutions of the polymers have been registered and analyzed before and after different irradiation conditions: 488 nm circularly polarized light (CPL) and 365 nm unpolarized light. The chiroptical properties of the polymer containing chiral 1-methylheptyloxy terminal chains depended on the thermal history of the sample. As a result, the photocontrol of the chiral response in the bulk material by CPL irradiation has been evaluated on samples cooled from the isotropic state to room temperature at different rates. The chiroptical properties of these azopolymers show an intriguing combination of control from both the supramolecular and molecular chirality level as well as the thermal history of the sample and CPL irradiation.
