2',6'-Dimethylazobenzene as an efficient and thermo-stable photo-regulator for the photoregulation of DNA hybridization.
The introduction of methyl groups into two ortho positions (2' and 6' positions) of the same benzene ring in an azobenzene remarkably raised both its photoregulation ability and the thermal stability of the cis-form.
