equation presented A novel class of dendrons and dendrimers containing all-azobenzene units (up to 29 azobenzene groups) was designed and synthesized by the convergent method using a protected orthogonal AB2 monomer (10) and tetra-functionalized core (11) as building blocks. The preparation of the key monomer (10) involved condensation of a protected nitroso compound (9) and 5-aminoisophthalic acid. These are the first examples of photoresponsive dendrimers with all-azobenzene repeating units.

A new class of dendrons and dendrimers containing azobenzene units (bearing up to 29 azobenzene groups for four generations) were designed and synthesized with the convergent method, which uses azobenzene derivatives as monomers and benzyl ester groups as linkages leading to photoresponsive dendrons and dendrimers with azobenzene units throughout their architecture. Photochemical isomerization experiments revealed that all of the dendrons and dendrimers undergo trans-cis isomerization by irradiation and cis-trans isomerization by either irradiation or heating.
