The activation energy E, trans/cis isomer absorbance ratio A/A0, trans/cis photo isomerization reaction rate constant kp, photo back-isomerization positive/counter reaction rate constant kt and kc, thermal back-isomerization rate constant kH at different temperatures, photo back-isomerization reaction equilibrium value kt/kc and trans/cis isomer absorbance ratio at thermal back-isomerization reaction A'/A0 of a new carbosilane photochro-mic liquid crystalline (LC) dendrimer of the third generation (G3) containing 108 4-hexyloxyazobenzene moieties on its periphery in solvent were described. The photochromic rate constants of G3 is 10-1 s-1, but that of photochromic polysiloxane containing the azobenzene moieties in side-chain is 10-8 s-1, thus the photoresponsive rate of G3 is 107 times larger than that of the latter.

Key words: photochromic liquid crystalline dendrimer, photoisomerization, photo back-isomerization, thermal back-isomerization, activation energy, photoelectrical informational storage material
