| The majority of quantitative reports have involved azobenzene, styryl or thioindigo structures, which undergo a cis-trans isomerization when photolyzed. |
| In general, the isomerization occurs somewhat slower and exhibits a more disperse temporal behavior than for azobenzene. |
| Similar picosecond time constants and spectral signatures have been observed for the cooling of a number of dye molecules including azobenzene. |
| Ampb peptides are a new class of molecules where the photoisomerizable dye azobenzene is linked to the peptide moiety via a flexible methylene spacer. |
| The ultrafast photodynamics of azobenzene were investigated in numerous experimental and theoretical studies. |
| Potassium permanganate in neutral solution oxidizes it to nitrobenzene, in alkaline solution to azobenzene, ammonia and oxalic acid, in acid solution to aniline black. |
