Abstract

In the article crown-containing photoswitchable styryl, butadienyl, srironapnthoxazine dyes and chromenes are described. The addition of metal cations to dye solutions initiates self-organizing molecules of dyes, formation of intramolecular and intermolecular complexes. The structure of formed nanostructures is characterized by NMR methods, UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. It is shown, that the stereostructure of nanostructures depends on chemical composition and structure of participating molecules and metal cations. The spectral properties and fluorescence nanostructures, direction and efficiency of photochemical reactions in them are determined by their stereostructure. It is shown, that nanostructures have a number of photoswitchable steady states. It is planned to use photocontrolled nanostructures as cells for optical memory.
