Abstract
Shining a light on it: E/Z photoisomerization generates an asymmetric center and the corresponding separable enantiomers in an azobenzene-based prochiral molecule. This asymmetric center is formed by light-induced changes to the substituents on the central atom, and Z/E thermal isomerization regenerates the initial symmetry in the molecule. This switching of the asymmetry can be performed repeatedly.
