Chem. Eur. J. 2026, e70669. Triazine-centered C3-symmetric azobenzene trimers were synthesized using complementary azo-forming strategies, providing a versatile platform for multiresponsive molecular photoswitches. Relative to the isoelectronic benzonitrile monomer, incorporation of the triazine core induces an intrinsic bathochromic shift of the azobenzene absorption bands. The thiomethoxy-substituted derivative exhibits negative photochromism, enabling efficient trans–cis...
