Azobenzene - Wikipedia
Azobenzene is a photoswitchable chemical compound composed of two phenyl rings linked by a N=N double bond. It is the simplest example of an aryl azo compound. The term 'azobenzene' or simply 'azo' is often used to refer to a wide class of similar compounds.

Azobenzene - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Azobenzene is a functional group which can undergo reversible cis–trans (or E-Z) isomerization when irradiated by UV or visible light (Fig. 5). The trans form is favored in the lipid bilayer, but when isomerized to the cis form a payload can be released from a liposome.
