Multi‐responsive Electropolymer Surface Coatings Based on Azo Molecular Switches and Carbazoles: Light, pH, and Electrochemical Control of Z→E Isomerization in Thin Films
Abstract:Light‐responsive surfaces are attracting increasing interest, not least because their physicochemical properties can be selectively and temporally controlled by a non‐invasive stimulus. Most existing immobilization strategies involve the chemical attachment of light‐responsive moieties to the surface, although this approach often suffers from a low surface concentration of active species or a high inhomogeneity of applied coatings. Herein we present electropolymerization of carbazoles as a facile and rapid app… Show more
