Example 27
A thermoresponsivity test of compound 8 in 150 mM KCl was performed by the following procedure. A JASCO FP-6500 spectrofluorometer was used, and using ultrapure water obtained from a Milli-Q reagent system made in Millipore Corporation, KCl purchased from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. dissolved to make a 150 mM concentration was used as a solvent. The initial concentration of the compound in this experiment was 0.01 w/v %, and the excitation wavelength was 456 nm. A JASCO ETC-273T water-cooled Peltier thermostated cell holder was used for temperature control of the solution, and temperature was measured with its accompanying thermocouple. Solution temperature was raised in steps of 2° C., and the fluorescence intensity at each temperature was measured.
The test results are shown in
