Abstract
AbstractIn this study, we have synthesized a new photosensitive organic–inorganic POSS‐containing hybrid porphyrin derivative (H2TPP−Azo−POSS), in which azobenzene was used as a bridge to conjugate the porphyrin and POSS, by using click chemistry. The self‐assembly behavior of H2TPP−Azo−POSS was studied at different concentrations in CHCl3 and in CHCl3/n‐hexane mixed solvent systems. Our results showed that the self‐assembled morphology of H2TPP−Azo−POSS could be tuned by varying the concentration and polarity of the solvent. Spherical micelles and linear nanowires could be obtained in CHCl3, whilst vesicles could be formed in CHCl3/n‐hexane mixtures with low polarities. The supramolecular self‐assembled morphologies of H2TPP−Azo−POSS demonstrated a light‐triggered transition behavior, whilst the size of the assembled aggregates decreased significantly under UV irradiation.
