Optical differential reflectance spectroscopy for photochromic molecules on solid surfaces [PDF]
, 2018 Optical reflectance of thin adsorbates on solid surfaces is able to reveal fundamental changes of molecular properties compared to bulk systems. The detection of very small changes in the optical reflectance required several technical improvements in the

Light Switchable Ionic Conductivity of Arylazopyrazole Modified Polysiloxanes
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We present a polysiloxane functionalized with a novel arylazopyrazole dye that undergoes reversible photoisomerization. Upon lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide addition and UV irradiation, the polymer exhibits a shift in tan(d) toward higher frequencies and enhanced ionic conductivity.

Synthesis of mono-functionalized S-diazocines via intramolecular Baeyer–Mills reactions
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2018 Herein we report a reliable method to synthesize mono-functionalized S-diazocines in reproducible yields via intramolecular Baeyer–Mills reactions. Diazocines exhibit excellent photoswitchable properties. As opposed to azobenzenes they are more stable in

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Amphiphilic chloroazobenzenes, bearing different amino acids as end groups alanine, phenylalanine, and valine, exhibit excellent photoisomerizations. Varying structures of three amino acid groups participate in supramolecular formations and therefore photoinduced morphological transformations via adjusting intermolecular interactions. These interaction

Fluorinated azobenzenes as supramolecular halogen-bonding building blocks
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019 ortho-Fluoroazobenzenes are a remarkable example of bistable photoswitches, addressable by visible light. Symmetrical, highly fluorinated azobenzenes bearing an iodine substituent in para-position were shown to be suitable supramolecular building blocks ...

Charge-transfer dynamics in azobenzene alkanethiolate self-assembled monolayers on gold [PDF]
, 2016 We have studied the charge transfer dynamics in azobenzene-functionalized alkanethiolate self-assembled monolayers. We compare the core-hole clock technique, i.e., resonant vs. non-resonant contributions in the azobenzene autoionization of the C1s-pi∗
