UV‐induced disulfide formation (UV‐DF) and disulfide reduction (UV‐DR) reactions for surface functionalization and dynamic photopatterning are presented. Both photochemical reactions allow for the spatially and temporally controlled, reversible transition between thiol‐ and disulfide‐functionalized surfaces. The dynamic photopatterning strategy was demonstrated by the UV‐induced attachment, exchange, and detachment on thiol‐modified substrates.
