title: E-Z isomerization of the -C[double bond, length as m-dash]N- bond in anthracene-based acylhydrazone derivatives under visible light.
abstract: The photoresponsive behaviour of AHP-mB8 upon irradiation by visible light was demonstrated to be due to the E-Z isomerizations of the -C[double bond, length as m-dash]N- group, rather than the photodimerization of anthracene groups. In addition, the Z-isomer of AHP-mB8 was stable at room temperature. AHP-mB8 organogels showed visible light induced gel-sol transition and its mechanism was proposed.
