Reversible Photoswitching and Isomer‐Dependent Diffusion of Single Azobenzene Tetramers on a Metal Surface
Abstract: Azobenzene is a prototypical molecular switch that can be reversibly photoisomerized between the nearly planar and apolar trans form, and the distorted, polar cis form. Most studies related to azobenzene derivatives have focused on planar adsorbed molecules. We present herein the study of a three‐dimensional shape‐persistent molecular architecture consisting of four tetrahedrally arranged azobenzene units that is adsorbed on a Ag (111) surface. While the azobenzenes of the tripod in contact with the surface lost their switching ability, different isomers of the upright standing arm of the tetramer were obtained reversibly and efficiently by illumination at different wavelengths, revealing time constants of only a few minutes. Diffusion on the surface was dependent on the isomeric state—trans or cis—of the upright oriented azobenzene group. Hence, molecular mobility can be modulated by its isomeric state, which suggests that molecular growth processes could be controlled by external stimuli.
