Azobenzene photochemistry is a fascinating area of investigation, on one hand, because it
is fairly wellknown, 1 and on the other hand because it has produced and continues to …

Incorporating photochromic molecules into organic or hybrid organic-inorganic materials
leads to photoresponsive systems, the properties of which can be manipulated by light …
