The invention belongs to the field of organic photoelectric materials, and discloses preparation and application of a D-pi-A type
molecular motor. A molecule composed of a donor and an
acceptor between a C = N
double bond and a pi bridge has the following structures I and II: # imgabs 0 #, Ar is two donor groups, namely
nitrosobenzene and N-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxyphenyl)
ethylenediamine, # imgabs 1 #, imino indole and cyano indanone groups are introduced to one end of the donor, and the structure I and the structure II are shown in the specification. A D-pi-A type
molecular motor material mainly based on non-
radiative transition is constructed, due to the existence of C = N double bonds, a donor rotates to generate
light response under illumination, the
molecular motor material enables
potential energy under the
molecular level to be transferred, and the operation of converting absorbed
light energy to near-
infrared light has great prospects. Macroscopically speaking, the molecular motor is a molecular-level motor capable of converting
optical energy into
mechanical energy. Therefore, the introduction of C = N double bonds provides possibility for constructing a D-pi-A type molecular motor material which is mainly based on non-
radiative transition. A thought is provided for the design of the molecules.
