Abstract

Three lipophilic L-glutamide derivatives with chromophoric head group were synthesized, and their photo-responsive properties were investigated in organic solution systems. By comparing their spectral behaviors, it was shown that organogels underwent a light blue to purple luminescence change, which was triggered by thermally induced monomeric-to-excimeric phase transition. This switching, based on self-assembly, is supposed to have special advantages in molecular electronics.
