Abstract

Azobenzene amphiphiles containing β-alanine, L-lysine or β-homolysine moieties were synthesized and characterised. Stable monomolecular layers at the air/water interface and LB multilayers has been obtained from some of them. One sample of azobenzenes synthesized has been shown to undergo a reversible trans/cis photoisomerization upon light irradiation in both solution and LB multilayer.
