Front Cover: Synthesis and Properties of Cyclic Imide Extended Diazocines: Tweezer‐Like, Rigid Photoswitches with Large Switching Amplitudes

Complex engineering systems use actuators that convert primary forms of energy into mechanical motion, which enables precise and task‐specific technical applications. The same principles apply to molecular machines. However, functionality is only achieved when the actuators interact with their environment in a controlled manner. The cover features an azo‐based photoswitch that performs a well‐defined, precise, wing‐flapping motion with a huge motion amplitude of 9 Å. The core system can be readily functionalized with a broad range of functional groups for various applications and further extension of the switching lever.
