Photoresponsive Fluorescence Color Change Derived from TICT in an Organogel System

A novel gelator containing 9-(9'-acridyl)carbazole (TICT probe) and azobenzene within a Molecule was synthesized and the photoresponsive gel properties were investigated by spectroscopic analyses, it showed an interesting photoinduced fluorescence wavelength change, which leads to a potential development toward a new type of optical information materials.
