title: A photoswitchable bis-azo derivative with a high temporal resolution.
abstract: The novel photoswitchable bis-azo derivative reported herein shows a high temporal resolution of 2 × 10(8) times between the thermal relaxation rates of its two constituting photochromes. Moreover, the slow and fast azo building blocks of this molecular construct can be triggered by using UV and visible light, respectively.
