Sweet switches: azobenzene glycoconjugates synthesized by click chemistry.
Azobenzene glycoconjugates can be switched between two isomeric states, E and Z, to change the spatial orientation of the conjugated carbohydrate ligands. Mono-, di- and trivalent azobenzene glycoconjugates were synthesized using click chemistry and their photochromic properties determined. Multivalency effects were observed in photoisomerisation.
