Azobenzene and its derivatives are among the most commonly used switching units in
organic chemistry. The switching process consists of two states, in which the trans isomer …

Reversible shape switching due to external stimuli is an attractive property for the control of
molecular features. Hence, we aimed at macrocycles to investigate photoswitching of …

The reversible modulation of chirality has gained significant attention not only for
fundamental stereochemical studies but also for numerous applications ranging from liquid …

A combination of the Mitsunobu reaction and Glaser coupling was used to achieve a new
glycoazobenzene macrocycle. This photosensitive macrocycle can be efficiently and …

By embedding an azobenzene unit into a chiral scaffold, switching of azobenzene from the
trans‐(P) isomer to the cis‐(P) isomer and back was achieved (black arrows in picture). The …
