Abstract
The Front Cover highlights the novel azobenzene-based ligand 3,3’-azobenz(BPA)2 (1). Upon reaction with Zn(BF4)2 and ZnCl2, the metallocycle [Zn2(1)2)](BF4)4 and the linear complex [{ZnCl2}2(1)] are formed (shown left and right). Both complexes retain the reversible photoswitchability of the ligand and do not disassemble during photoisomerization. Reversible photoisomerization was observed with NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, which spectra are shown schematically in the background. More information can be found in the Research Article by S. Becker and co-workers.
