Azobenzenophanes are fascinating macrocycles, which are of special interest due to their unique photochromic behavior. Cyclotrisazobenzenes 2 (R = H, Br, t Bu) were prepared to probe how much strain the photoisomerization of the azobenzene motive can tolerate. The macrocycles were synthesized in an overall yield of 10–20 % from ortho ‐phenylenediamine ( 6 ). Solid‐state structures of cyclotrisazobenzenes 2a and 2b were obtained. Irradiation under various conditions did not induce any isomerization.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
