By embedding an azobenzene unit into a chiral scaffold, switching of azobenzene from the trans ‐(P) isomer to the cis ‐(P) isomer and back was achieved (black arrows in picture). The embedding leads to a flipping process in which the phenyl rings can only move directly towards one another in the switching process.
