title: Photoactive dimesogen having different pathways of light driven phase transitions at different temperatures.
abstract: We hereby describe a novel example of light driven phase transitions in a photoresponsive dimesogen, which goes through different pathways at different temperatures. The isomer ratios required to obtain the phase transition in each case have also been determined.
