Control over the properties and functionality of catalysts, pharmaceuticals, and materials is an essential objective for contemporary chemists. Light is a particularly attractive remote stimulus due to its clean and highly controllable nature. Thus, organic molecules whose properties can be controlled with light – photoswitches – are widely studied for such purposes. In the case of functional light-responsive materials, photoactuators in particular, liquid crystalline polymers with covalently bound or doped photoswitches are often exploited. The design of new photoswitches is imperative in order to acquire materials with the desired properties. In addition to photochemical properties, it is important to design the materials to be compatible...
