Redox-induced conformational alteration of N-aryl-N-phenylamides, in which the N-aryl group consists of a hydroquinone-p-quinone system, was examined. The reduced form bearing a dihydroxyphenyl or dimethoxyphenyl group exists mainly in the E-form, whereas the oxidized form bearing a N-benzoquinone moiety takes the Z-form both in the crystal and in solution. This redox-induced conformational alteration is associated with a marked change in optical properties. This system appears to have suitable properties for use in external redox stimulus-responsive functional switching.
