To exclude the possibility of heating effects due to the 20 min UV irradiation on the drift of the piezo, another azobenzene derivative without a hydroxyl group at the 2-position, 4-hydroxy-3′-trifluoromethylazobenzene, has been used for comparison. It was shown that this derivative also can form an ordered row-like structure and undergo cis-trans isomerization at the liquid/ graphite interface. However, no cis-trans driven reversible reorientation of the rows could be observed after UV irradiation.
