Abstract

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.
