title: A photoswitchable methylene-spaced fluorinated aryl azobenzene monolayer grafted on silicon.
abstract: Aryldiazonium-terminated methylene-spaced trifluoromethylazobenzene derivatives have been synthesized. Their self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on a silicon surface allow for a stable and reversible molecular photoswitch.
