17. This gap value corresponds to the HOMO - LUMO + 1 gap because the LUMO is essentially localized on the azobenzene group.
18. Irradiation was performed with a 150 W xenon lamp using band-pass filters.
19. A control experiment on p-dimethylazobenzene shows that the azo group is electrochemically inert up to +1.70 V versus Ag/AgCl.
