Azoheteroarenes represent a relatively new but understudied type of photoswitch, where one or both of the aryl rings from the conventional azobenzene class has been replaced with a heteroaromatic ring. This talk will give an overview of our work in this area, initially focusing on our discovery of the arylazopyrazoles [1], which offer quantitative photoswitching and high thermal stability of the <i>Z</i> isomer. It will go on to describe our elucidation of structure–property relationships for a wide array of comparable azoheteroaryl photoswitches [2, 3]. Through this, we have identified compounds with <i>Z</i> isomer half-lives ranging from seconds to hours, to days and to years, and variable absorption characteristics, all through tuning of the heteraromatic ring.</p><p>Given the large tunability of their properties, the predictive nature of their performance, and the other potential functional opportunities afforded by usage of a heteroaromatic system, we believe the azoheteroaryl photoswitches to have huge potential in a wide range of optically addressable applications. This talk will particularly focus on the promise of such agents in photopharmacology: light-addressable drugs [4–6].</p><p><b>References</b></p><p>1. \u0000 <span>C. E. Weston</span>, <span>R. D.
