Abstract
Azobenzene (Azo) units were successfully introduced into perylene bisimide (PBI) structures in order to realize the photocontrolling of the morphology of the supramolecular assembly of PBI by a photoisomerization process. A total of three Azo-functionalized perylene bisimide derivatives (PBI1, PBI2, and PBI3) with different alkyl chain lengths were designed and synthesized by imidization of 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride with the corresponding amines. The structures of these compounds were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The photoisomerization behaviors of Azo units in PBIs were investigated using ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) absorption spectroscopy, which were obviously effected by solvents and the alkyl chain length. Furthermore, the photoisomerization of Azo units has the obviously regulatory effect on the morphology of supramolecular assembly of PBIs, especially for the medium-length alkyl chain-linked Azo-functionalized PBI derivative (PBI2). This research realized the photocontrolling of the morphology of the supramolecular assembly of PBI derivatives by photoisomerization of Azo units.

Abstract
To develop light-triggered wringing gels, an asymmetric macrogelator (1AZ3BP) was newly synthesized by the chemically bridging a photoisomerizable azobenzene (1AZ) molecular machine and a biphenyl-based (3BP) dendron with a 1,4-phenylenediformamide connector. 1AZ3BP was self-assembled into a layered superstructure in the bulk state, but 1AZ3BP formed a three-dimensional (3D) network organogel in solution. Upon irradiating UV light onto the 3D network organogel, the solvent of the organogel was squeezed and the 3D network was converted to the layered morphology. It was realized that the metastable 3D network organogels were fabricated mainly due to the nanophase separation in solution. UV isomerization of 1AZ3BP provided sufficient molecular mobility to form strong hydrogen bonds for the construction of the stable layered superstructure. The light-triggered wringing gels can be smartly applied in remote-controlled generators, liquid storages, and sensors.
