The photophysical behaviors of newly synthesized photochromic dyes have been investigated in different solvents of various polarities using steady-state absorption and emission techniques. It was found that, the absorption and emission spectra of these dyes depend on the ring size and the solvent polarity. The higher values of the dipole moments of the investigated dyes in the excited state than those in the ground state suggest that these dyes can serve as good candidate components of nonlinear optical materials. Additionally, the photoisomerization parameters (percentage of composition of cis isomers and quantum yields of photoisomerization) depend on the polarity and the viscosity of the used solvents as well as the ring size. The molecular motion that occurs in the isomerization process has facilitated the development of molecular devices. Finally, the halochromic behaviors of the investigated dyes promise them to act as acid-base indicators. |
