Switch! A photoswitchable α‐cyclodextrin‐based [2]rotaxane array on graphene oxide (GO) was prepared. The α‐cyclodextrin ring in the [2]rotaxane on the GO surface can move back and forth along the dumbbell component driven by trans – cis isomerization of the azobenzene unit. This system has potential applications in the development of GO‐based photoswitches.
