The photochemical behavior of a new photochromic liquid crystalline (LC) carbosilane dendrimer of the zero generation (D0) in CHCl3 and THF was described. Four 4-butoxyazobenzene mesogenic fragments were attached in its periphery. The intensity of light absorbed, molar extinction coefficient, maximum absorption wave length, quantum yield and activation energy were determined. The reaction rate constants of trans/cis photochemical isomerization, photochemical back-isomerization and thermal back-isomerization and the equilibrium constant of photochemical back-isomerization reaction were discussed. Photochromic reaction rate constant of D0 is 10-1s-1, but that of photochromic LC polysiloxanes containing azobenzene moieties is 10-8s-1, thus the photoresponsive rate of LC dendrimer D0 is 107 times larger than that of the latter.

Key words: photochromic liquid crystalline dendrimer, photoelectric information functional material, photochemical back-isomerization, thermal back isomerization, trans/cis isomer ratio, activation energy, quantum yield, intensity of light absorbed
