Abstract
⺠ZnO nanodots and nanorods as scaffolds for organic inorganic hybrid materials. ⺠Functionalization of ZnO nanocrystals with a photochromic azobenzene ligand. ⺠We observe photoisomerization of azobenzenes grafted on the metal oxide surface. ⺠ZnO nanorods enable the formation of tightly packed azobenzene monolayers. ⺠Photoisomerization is less efficient on nanorods as compared to nanodots.
