An azobenzene derivative, 2-hydroxy-4,4′-dihexyloxyazobenzene, in which a hydroxy group is introduced at the 2-position of the phenyl ring, forms an ordered monolayer at the liquid/graphite interface. Upon light irradiation, this monolayer can undergo a reversible cis-trans driven cooperative reorientation as observed by scanning tunneling microscopy.
