Electrochemical Site-Selective Alkylation of Azobenzenes with (Thio)Xanthenes
Herein, we first report an electrochemical methodology for the site-selective alkylation of azobenzenes with (thio)xanthenes in the absence of any transition metal catalyst or external oxidant. A variety of groups are compatible with this electrochemical

Halogen bonding stabilizes a cis-azobenzene derivative in the solid state: A crystallographic study [PDF]
Crystals of trans- and cis-isomers of a fluorinated azobenzene derivative have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The presence of F atoms on the aromatic core of the azobenzene increases the lifetime of the metastable ...

Concentration dependence of thermal isomerization process of methyl orange in ethanol [PDF]
The thermal isomerization (TI) rates of methyl orange (MO) and 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (DMAAB) in ethanol (EtOH) are measured. Usually TI rates of azobenzene dyes are known to be concentration independent.

Color Detection Using Chromophore-Nanotube Hybrid Devices [PDF]
We present a nanoscale color detector based on a single-walled carbon nanotube functionalized with azobenzene chromophores, where the chromophores serve as photoabsorbers and the nanotube as the electronic read-out.

High Yielding Lithiation of Azobenzenes by Tin-Lithium Exchange [PDF]
The lithiation of halogenated azobenzenes by a halogen-lithium exchange commonly leads to a substantial degradation of the azo-group to give hydrazine derivatives besides the desired aryl-lithium species. Yields for quenching reactions with electrophiles
