Graphene oxide catalyzed cis-trans isomerization of azobenzene
We report the fast cis-trans isomerization of an amine-substituted azobenzene catalyzed by graphene oxide (GO), where the amine functionality facilitates the charge transfer from azobenzene to graphene oxide in contrast to non-substituted azobenzene. This catalytic effect was not observed in stilben...
