title: Azobenzene-based chloride transporters with light-controllable activities.
abstract: Synthetic chloride transporters containing two urea groups linked through a diazobenzene spacer have been prepared and the trans-to-cis isomerization by light stimulation results in dramatic changes in the chloride transport activities across lipid and cell membranes.
