Molecular photoswitches enable dynamic control of processes with high spatiotemporal
precision, using light as external stimulus, and hence are ideal tools for different research …

The photoisomerization properties of azo derivatives have been widely used in the fields of
materials and biology. One serious restriction to the development of functional azo-based …

Azobenzenes are classical molecular photoswitches that have been widely used. In recent
endeavors of molecular design, replacing one or both phenyl rings with heteroaromatic rings …

Following the progress on mono‐heteroaryl azo switches (Het‐N= N‐Ph), a few bis‐
heteroaryl azo switches (Het‐N= N‐Het) have been studied recently, whereas the …

The development of light-responsive chemical systems often relies on the rational design
and suitable incorporation of molecular photoswitches such as azobenzenes. Linking a …

In this study, we aimed at the application of the concept of photopharmacology to the
approved vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 kinase inhibitor axitinib. In …

Azo–imidazole photoswitches based on NH–and N–methylimidazole were designed and
prepared via a convenient synthetic route. These azo-compounds were investigated by …

Developing improved enzyme inhibitors is an effective therapy to counter various diseases.
Aiming to build up biologically active templates, a new series of bis-diazoles conjugated with …

This paper describes for the first time an efficient approach to synthesize a novel
trifluoromethylated heterocyclic system of seventeen examples of substituted …

Photoswitchable molecules display two or more isomeric forms that may be accessed using
light. Separating the electronic absorption bands of these isomers is key to selectively …
