A study of phase transitions of photochromic p,p’-n-alkylazobenzenes compounds was carried out by means of adiabatic scanning calorimetry (ASC) and photopyroelectric calorimetry (PPE) techniques, yielding accurately the temperature dependence of the enthalpy and of the specific heat capacity across the observed phase transitions, and the corresponding enthalpy of transition values.

Abstract

A study of phase transitions of photochromic p,p’-n-alkylazobenzenes compounds was carried out by means of adiabatic scanning calorimetry (ASC) and photopyroelectric calorimetry (PPE) techniques, yielding accurately the temperature dependence of the enthalpy and of the specific heat capacity across the observed phase transitions, and the corresponding enthalpy of transition values. In addition, polarization microscopy imaging of the sample texture was performed together with the PPE calorimetric evaluations to establish the nature of the involved phases. By performing PPE calorimetric evaluations during UV irradiation of the samples, the influence of the photoinduced trans to cis isomerization of the nAB molecules on the occurrence of the phase transitions was assessed.
