In this report; for the first time; a planar chiral photoresponsive compound has been employed in commercially available nematic liquid crystals to achieve phototunable reflection colors. We designed an azobenzenophane compound having conformational restriction on the free rotation of naphthalene moiety to impose an element of planar chirality and the corresponding enantiomers were resolved by HPLC on chiral column. We have determined the absolute configuration by comparison of density functional theory (DFT) calculations of its electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectrum and specific rotation [α]D to experimental ECD and [α]D data. Enantiomers exhibit photochemically reversible isomerization in solution without undergoing thermal or photoinduced racemization. As chiroptic switches in different host nematic liquid crystals; they exhibit good solubility; moderately high helical twisting power; as well as a large change in helical twisting power due to photoisomerization. A unique feature of these chiral photochromic compounds is that no other auxiliary chiral agents is required to achieve a fast photon mode reversible full-range color control in induced cholesterics; that is; both the hypsochromic and bathochromic shift can be obtained from a single LC formulation by reversible photoisomerization of the single chiral compound. © 2008 American Chemical Society;
