Fast relaxing red and near-IR switchable azobenzenes with chalcogen and halogen substituents: periodic trends, tuneable thermal half-lives and chalcogen bonding
Molecular photoswitches operating in the red to near-IR region with controllable thermal relaxation rates are attractive components for photo-regulating biological processes. Herein, we report the synthesis of red-shifted azobenzenes functionalised with the heavier chalcogens and halogens that meet...
