Online Monitoring the Isomerization of an Azobenzene-Based Dendritic Bolaamphiphile Using Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry

Ion mobility-mass spectrometry was used to obtain detailed information about the kinetics of the light-induced trans/cis isomerization process of a new supramolecular azobenzene-based bolaamphiphile. Further experiments revealed that the investigated light-induced structural transition dramatically influences the aggregation behaviour of the molecule.
