Azobenzenes are robust, reliable, and easy to synthesize photochromic switches. However, their high conformational flexibility is a disadvantage in machine-like applications. The almost free rotation of the phenyl groups can be restricted by bridging two ortho positions with a CH(2)CH(2) group, as realized in the dihydrodibenzo diazocine framework. We present the synthesis and properties of 3,3'-amino- and 3,3'-acetamido substituted diazocines. Upon irradiation with light of 405 and 530 nm they ...[more]
