Abstract
Two novel cis-trans conversion pathways have been studied using the as sembled monolayer films of azobenzene derivative on solid electrodes. The first one is electrostatic isomerization induced by strong electri c field at the interface of electrode and electrolyte. The second one is inverted redox reactions which leads to the simultaneous conversion of cis-ABD to the trans isomer at UV light irradiation. These reactio ns may provide new strategies to the chromic applications of azobenzen e.
