Photo‐Switching in a Hybrid Material Made of Magnetic Layered Double Hydroxides Intercalated with Azobenzene Molecules

A magnetic photoresponsive hybrid material is prepared by intercalation of a switchable trans-azobenzene-4,4′-dicarboxylate guest in the interlamellar space offered by a ferromagnetic Co2+Al3+-layered double hydroxide (LDH) host. Magnetic switching is triggered by compression/modification of the in-plane structure coupled the guest's isomerization causing a change in the magnetization of 27%.
