Click to switch : A novel family of azobenzenes containing residues needed for aqueous Staudinger–Bertozzi ligation to azides was designed (see scheme). The resulting photochromes show stable and reversible switching behavior in water, with a photostationary state (PSS) of up to 95:5 cis/trans. Applications in model systems include the modification of azide‐bearing surfaces and proteins.
