The photochemical behavior of a new photochromic liquid crystalline (LC) carbosilane dendrimer of the third generation (D3) was described. 108 4-butoxyazobenzene mesogenic fragments were attached to its periphery. The reaction rate constant of trans/cis photochemical isomerization kp, thermal back-isomerization kH and photochemical back-isomerization kt and kc of D3 were described. The transition percent of isomer A/A0, activation energy E, trans/cis ratio in thermal back-isomerization A′/A0 and equilibrium constant of photochemical back-isomerization reaction kt/kc of D3 were discussed. Photochromic rate constant of D3 is 10-1 s-1, but that of photochromic LC polysiloxanes containing azobenzene moieties in side chain is 10-8 s-1, thus the photoresponsive rate of LC dendrimer D3 is 107 times larger than that of the latter.

Key words: photochromic liquid crystalline dendrimer, photo-electro informational storage material, trans/cis photo-isomerization, photochemical back-isomerization, thermal back-isomerization, activation energy, transition percent of isomer
