CAS 103-33-3

Azobenzene

Description:

Azobenzene is an organic compound characterized by its distinctive azo group (-N=N-) connecting two phenyl rings. It is a yellow to orange crystalline solid at room temperature and is known for its ability to undergo reversible photoisomerization between its trans and cis forms upon exposure to ultraviolet or visible light. This property makes azobenzene a valuable compound in various applications, including photonic devices, molecular switches, and drug delivery systems. Azobenzene is relatively stable under ambient conditions but can decompose under extreme heat or in the presence of strong oxidizing agents. Its solubility varies in different solvents, being more soluble in organic solvents than in water. Additionally, azobenzene exhibits interesting thermal and photochemical properties, which have been extensively studied in the context of materials science and nanotechnology. Due to its potential environmental and health impacts, handling azobenzene requires caution, as it may pose risks if ingested or inhaled.

Azobenzene is an azobenzene that binds to the actin filaments and inhibits their polymerization. It has been shown to inhibit the polymerization of actin filaments in human serum, which may be due to its ability to react with the nitrogen atoms in actin. Azobenzene has also been shown to have a thermal expansion coefficient of 0.015x10-5/°C, which is much larger than that of most other compounds. The molecular geometry of azobenzene is planar and symmetrical, with two hydrogen atoms on each nitrogen atom on both sides of the molecule. This symmetry leads to a low intramolecular hydrogen bonding energy. The molecule’s photochemical properties are also interesting because it has a long lifetime and can be excited by wavelengths between 400-500 nm.
