摘要: In this study, light-responsive nano-assemblies with light-switchable size based on photoacids are presented. Anionic disulfonated napthol derivates and cationic dendrimer macroions used as building blocks for electrostatic self-assembly. Nanoparticles already formed under the exclusion of light a result interactions. Upon photoexcitation, an excited-state dissociation photoacidic hydroxyl group takes place, which leads to more highly charged linker molecule and, subsequently, change in structure nano-assemblies. The effects charge ratio concentration stability have been examined absorption spectroscopy ζ-potential measurements. influence chemical three isomeric shape nanoscale aggregates has studied by dynamic scattering atomic force microscopy, revealing direct correlation strength photoacid changes assemblies upon irradiation.
