Azobenzenes are versatile photoswitches that can be cycled between their trans‐ and cis‐configuration with light. The wavelengths required for this isomerization are substantially shifted from the UV to the visible range through tetra‐ortho‐chlorination. These halogenated azobenzenes display unique photoswitching characteristics, but their syntheses remain limited and inefficient. A new general method...
