Abstract
Two azobenzenesulfonamide molecules with thermally stable cis configurations resulting from fluorination of positions ortho to the azo group are reported that can differentially regulate the activity of carbonic anhydrase in the trans and cis configurations. These fluorinated probes each use two distinct visible wavelengths (520 and 410 or 460 nm) for isomerization with high photoconversion efficiency. Correspondingly, the cis isomer of these systems is highly stable and persistent (as evidenced by structural studies in solid and solution state), permitting regulation of metalloenzyme activity without continuous irradiation. Herein, we use these probes to demonstrate the visible light mediated bidirectional control over the activity of zinc-dependent carbonic anhydrase in solution as an isolated protein, in intact live cells and in vivo in zebrafish during embryo development.

Abstract
![]()
We computationally
dissected the electronic and geometrical influences
of ortho-chlorinated azobenzenes on their photophysical
properties. X-ray analysis provided the insight that trans-tetra-ortho-chloro azobenzene is conformationally
flexible and thus subject to molecular motions. This allows the photoswitch
to adopt a range of red-shifted geometries, which account for the
extended n → π* band tails. On the basis of our results,
we designed the di-ortho-fluoro di-ortho-chloro (dfdc) azobenzene and provided computational
evidence for the superiority of this substitution pattern to tetra-ortho-chloro azobenzene. Thereafter, we synthesized dfdc azobenzene by ortho-chlorination via
2-fold C–H activation and experimentally confirmed its structural
and photophysical properties through UV–vis, NMR, and X-ray
analyses. The advantages include near-bistable isomers and an increased
separation of the n → π* bands between the trans- and cis-conformations, which allows for the generation
of unusually high levels of the cis-isomer by irradiation
with green/yellow light as well as red light within the biooptical
window.
