Influence of Substitution on the Interplay of Photochemical Switching and Phase Transitions in Azobenzene-Based Molecular Materials.

Understanding and translating molecular-scale switching of azobenzenes into a macroscopic, functional response in the solid state remains a challenge. Herein, the photochemical and thermal properties of different substituted p-Ohexyl-azobenzenes were systematically investigated to establish structure-property relations...
