However, this reaction typically requires ultraviolet light, which limits applicability. In this study, we introduce disequilibration by sensitization under confinement (DESC), a supramolecular approach to induce the E-to-Z isomerization by using light of a desired color, including red. DESC relies on a combination of a macrocyclic host and a photosensitizer, which act together to selectively bind and sensitize E-azobenzenes for isomerization. The Z isomer lacks strong affinity for and is expelled from the host, which can then convert additional E-azobenzenes to the Z state. In this way, the host–photosensitizer complex converts photon energy into chemical energy in the form of out-of-equilibrium photostationary states, including ones that cannot be accessed through direct photoexcitation."}],"status":"public","day":"22","quality_controlled":"1","article_type":"original","volume":381,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"author":[{"first_name":"Julius","full_name":"Gemen, Julius","last_name":"Gemen"},{"first_name":"Jonathan R.","full_name":"Church, Jonathan R.","last_name":"Church"},{"last_name":"Ruoko","full_name":"Ruoko, Tero-Petri","first_name":"Tero-Petri"},{"last_name":"Durandin","full_name":"Durandin, Nikita","first_name":"Nikita"},{"last_name":"Białek","first_name":"Michał J.","full_name":"Białek, Michał J."},{"full_name":"Weissenfels, Maren","first_name":"Maren","last_name":"Weissenfels"},{"first_name":"Moran","full_name":"Feller, Moran","last_name":"Feller"},{"last_name":"Kazes","full_name":"Kazes, Miri","first_name":"Miri"},{"first_name":"Veniamin A.","full_name":"Borin, Veniamin A.","last_name":"Borin"},{"first_name":"Magdalena","full_name":"Odaybat, Magdalena","last_name":"Odaybat"},{"first_name":"Rishir","full_name":"Kalepu, Rishir","last_name":"Kalepu"},{"last_name":"Diskin-Posner","full_name":"Diskin-Posner, Yael","first_name":"Yael"},{"last_name":"Oron","first_name":"Dan","full_name":"Oron, Dan"},{"first_name":"Matthew J.","full_name":"Fuchter, Matthew J.","last_name":"Fuchter"},{"last_name":"Priimagi","first_name":"Arri","full_name":"Priimagi, Arri"},{"full_name":"Schapiro, Igor","first_name":"Igor","last_name":"Schapiro"},{"first_name":"Rafal","full_name":"Klajn, Rafal","last_name":"Klajn","id":"8e84690e-1e48-11ed-a02b-a1e6fb8bb53b"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","page":"1357-1363","department":[{"_id":"RaKl"}],"publication":"Science","date_created":"2023-08-01T08:26:15Z","year":"2023","date_published":"2023-09-22T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"No","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1095-9203"]},"doi":"10.1126/science.adh9059","_id":"13340","title":"Disequilibrating azoarenes by visible-light sensitization under confinement","issue":"6664","month":"09","oa_version":"Preprint","citation":{"short":"J.
