Light Induced Properties of Chalcones Correlated with Molecular Structure and Photophysical Properties for Permanent Optical Storage Device

Abstract

The photoisomerization effect on new chalcone derivative is reported. The synthesized chalcone was characterized by different spectral analysis such as 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, FTIR, LCMS and UV/Vis. It revealed the photoisomerization effect in solution, the E-Z isomerization occurred around 60sec, whereas Z-E isomerism occurred at 0min. This chalcone derivative is more useful in fabrication of permanent optical storage devices.
