合成了一种新型的具有光活性和氧化还原活性的两亲性分子--4-（11-二茂铁基正十一烷氧基）偶氮苯甲酸（FcAzCOOH），采用元素分析、核磁共振氢谱和傅里叶变换红外光谱对产物进行了确认与表征．紫外一可见吸收光谱研究表明，FcAzCOOH在四氢呋喃溶液中具有很好的光致异构行为．循环伏安行为研究表明，FcAzC00H在N，N-二甲基甲酰胺溶液中的电极过程为受扩散控制的可逆过程，紫外光照对FcAzCOOH的电化学行为几乎没有影响．

A novel amphiphilic ferroceneylazobenzoic acid （FcAzCOOH） with optical and redox activities was synthesized, and the product was identified and characterized by means of elemental analysis, 1H NMR and FT-IR. Then, the photochemical behavior of FcAzCOOH in tetrahydrofuran solution was invenstigated by means of UV-Vis, with an excellent photoisomerization behavior being discovered. Moreover, the electrochemical behavior of FcAz- COOH in polar DMF solution was analyzed by means of cyclic voltarnmetry. The results show that the electrochemical response of FcAzCOOH is dispersion-controlled and reversible, and that UV light has no obvious effect on the electrochemical behavior of FcAzCOOH.
