Abstract
Azobenzene amphiphiles containing beta-alanine, L-lysine or beta-homol ysine moieties were synthesized and characterised. Stable monomolecula r layers at the air/water interface and LB multilayers has been obtain ed from some of them. One sample of azobenzenes synthesized has been s hown to undergo a reversible trans/cis photoisomerization upon light i rradiation in both solution and LB multilayer.
