London dispersion as important factor for the stabilization of (Z)-azobenzenes in the presence of hydrogen bonding

The understanding and control of the light-induced isomerization of azobenzenes as one of the most important classes of molecular switches is crucial for the design of light-responsive materials using this entity. Herein, we present the stabilization of metastable (Z)-azobenzenes by London dispersio...
