Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Click to switch</bold>: A novel family of azobenzenes containing residues needed for aqueous Staudinger–Bertozzi ligation to azides was designed (see scheme). The resulting photochromes show stable and reversible switching behavior in water, with a photostationary state (PSS) of up to 95:5 <italic>cis/trans.</italic> Applications in model systems include the modification of azide‐bearing surfaces and proteins.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v4b0q5k" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
