Studies of novel perfluoroalkyl derivatives of azobenzene in solution and on surfaces

Azobenzene based photochromics have been studied widely since the development of the first azo dye, Mauvine, by Perkin in 1856. Azo based dyes have been widely used in industry for over a century. The desire to study them arose from their ease of synthesis and the wide availability of colours which...
