title: Light induced E-Z isomerization in a multi-responsive organogel: elucidation from (1)H NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: A multiresponsive organogel of (E)-N'-(anthracene-10-ylmethylene)-3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzohydrazide (I) showed a decrease of fluorescence intensity, decrease in mechanical strength and a change in gel morphology on irradiation with a wavelength of 365 nm. This is attributed to the E-Z isomerization across the C=N bond of I as evidenced from (1)H NMR spectroscopy.
