title: Photoresponsive double-stranded helices composed of complementary strands.
abstract: A photoresponsive single-handed double helical supramolecule composed of complementary strands bearing azobenzene moieties underwent a reversible trans-cis-isomerization regulated by photoirradiation, resulting in a change in its molecular length.
