Azobenzenes (Ph-N═ N-Ph) are known as the most widely studied molecular
photoswitches, and the recent rise of azoheteroarenes (Het-N═ N-Ph or Het-N═ N-Het) …

Molecular solar thermal (MOST) fuels have attracted enormous research enthusiasm in solar
energy conversion and storage, which can generate high-energy isomers upon harvesting …

A novel class of photoswitches based on a phenylazothiazole scaffold that undergoes
reversible isomerization under visible-light irradiation is reported. The photoswitch, which …

Efficient solar thermal energy storage and release via molecular solar thermal (MOST) fuels
is essential to meet the ever-increasing global energy demands. However, most reported …

Visible-light-operated photoswitches are of growing interest in reversibly controlling
molecular processes, enabling for example the precise spatiotemporal focusing of drug …

We report azopyrazole photoswitches decorated with variable N‐alkyl and alkoxy chains (for
hydrophobic interactions) and phenyl substituents on the pyrazoles (enabling π− π …

Differently substituted pyrrole‐azo‑benzene molecular photoswitches were prepared in a
straightforward synthetic way. Their fundamental properties were investigated by XRD …

We have developed three azobenzene‐core‐based molecular systems decorated with
different numbers of rhodamine units as photoswitchable multianalyte sensors. Exploiting …

Azoheteroarenes are emerging as powerful alternatives to azobenzene molecular
photoswitches. In this study, water‐soluble arylazoisoxazole photoswitches are introduced …

Photoswitches are molecules that can absorb light of specific wavelengths and undergo a
reversible transformation between their trans and cis isomeric forms. In phenylazo …
