Photomechanical Molecular Crystals of an Azopyridine Derivative and Its Zinc(II) Complex: Synthesis, Crystallization and Photoinduced Motion

In this work, photomechanical molecular crystals of 4-(4-(6-Hydroxyhexyloxy) phenylazo) pyridine (6cazpy) and its zinc(II) organic complex (complex-I) were synthesized and crystallized. DSC and TGA were used to characterize and compare properties of 6cazpy and its complex-I crystals. Photoinduced mo...
