Abstract
⺠Azobenzene and its derivatives have many potential applications. ⺠The bridged azobenzene studied here exhibits highly efficient photoisomerization. ⺠We performed density-functional-based simulations with nÏâ excitation. ⺠Rotation around the central NN bond is the dominant photoisomerization mechanism. ⺠The bridging feature was found not to hinder the rotation.
