Synthesis and Conformation of Substituted Chiral Binaphthyl-Azobenzene Cyclic Dyads with Chiroptical Switching Capabilities

Synthesis and Conformation of Substituted Chiral Binaphthyl-Azobenzene Cyclic Dyads with Chiroptical Switching Capabilities

Optically active binaphthyl-azobenezene cyclic dyads were synthesized to develop a photochromic switching molecule. Azobenezene moieties were cis-trans isomerized by photoirradiation. As a reflection of the structural change, the specific optical rotation and circular dichroism underwent significant...
