Photoisomerization in different classes of azobenzene

TL;DR: This critical review details the studies completed to date on the 3 main classes of azobenzene derivatives and explains the mechanism behind the isomerization mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dinitrogen Coordination Chemistry: On the Biomimetic Borderlands

TL;DR: Biological nitrogen fixation by the nitrogenase enzymes has long been a touchstone for dinitrogen chemists and these metalloenzymes employ transition metal-based catalysts to accelerate the thermodynamically feasible production of ammonia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel photo-switching using azobenzene functional materials

TL;DR: Azobenzene (azo) chromophores have been incorporated into a wide variety of materials and molecular architectures, including polymers, dendrimers, and molecular glasses as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the Mechanism of the cis−trans Isomerization in the Lowest Electronic States of Azobenzene: S0, S1, and T1

TL;DR: The results indicate that the S(1) state decay involves mainly the torsion route and that the inversion mechanism may play a role only if the molecule is excited with an excess energy of at least 25 kcal/mol with respect to the S (1) minimum of the E isomer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Azobenzene photomechanics: prospects and potential applications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the photo-mechanical effect taking place in various material systems incorporating azobenzene, which can be defined as reversible change in shape by absorption of light.
