Cover Story: (E)-1-Aryl-1,3-butadienes represent a simple yet highly expressive class of conjugated systems, where light triggers controlled (E)/(Z) isomerization through well-defined excited-state pathways. Extended π-conjugation directs the flow of electronic excitation into precise geometric rearrangements, transforming photon energy into molecular motion. By combining spectroscopic experiments with computational insights, this study reveals how subtle conformational changes govern photochemical efficiency and stability. The resulting structure–reactivity framework highlights aryl-substituted butadienes as adaptable molecular motifs for photoresponsive materials, where light acts as a switch to control shape, dynamics, and function. View this paper
