photoisomerization of azobenzenes provides a general means for the photocontrol of molecular structure and function. For applications in vivo, however, the wavelength of irradiation required for trans-to-cis isomerization of azobenzenes is critical since UV and most visible wavelengths are strongly scattered by cells and tissues. We report here that azobenzene compounds in which all four positions ortho to the azo
