Synthesize and characterize a novel azobenzene dye bearing an oligo(ethylene glycol) side chain and evaluate its thermal and optical aggregation behavior in solution and solid phases.
Synthesized RED-PEGM-8, an azobenzene dye functionalized with an octaoxapentacosyl oligo(ethylene glycol) segment.
Evaluated thermal phase transitions and structural intermolecular interactions using thermal analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy.
Characterized optical absorption and aggregation behavior across aqueous solutions and solid thin films using UV–vis spectroscopy.
RED-PEGM-8 exhibited lower thermal stability, glass transition temperature, and melting temperature than Disperse Red-1 due to the flexible PEGM chain.
Aqueous solutions at high chromophore concentrations formed H-type aggregates driven by π–π intermolecular interactions, producing a characteristic blue-shifted absorption band.
Solid-state thin films displayed optical evidence of H-type aggregates alongside an extended absorption tail in the red region, indicating the formation of J-type aggregates.
