Abstract:

An amphiphilic azo-methine dye (E)- N- octadecyl- 2- [2- (4- N,N- dimethyl aminophenyl)azomethinyl] pyridinium iodide (PN2),was synthesized. The dye molecule was successfully transferred onto quartz (or ITO slides) by Langmiur- Blodgett (LB) technique. The study on its photochemical and photoelectrochemical properties indicates that the azo-methine dye is a photodegradable compound. And second- harmonic generation (SHG) and photoelectric conversion (PEC) properties for this dye were observed. Its is 145.6 pm•V - 1, and its quantum yield of photocurrent generation is 1.37％ in 0.5 mol•L－1 KCl solution containing 0.1 mmol•L－1 hydroquinone, degassed with N2 and at zero bias voltage (vs SCE).

Key words: Azo-methine dye, LB monolayer film, Second-harmonic generation(SHG), Photoelectric conversion(PEO)
