By means of photoisomerization of a doped azobenzene derivative, the authors have for the first time demonstrated the light-driven bi-continuous cubic SmC (SmC-Cubbi) phase transition, in which a 1D-organized SmC phase structure is switched reversibly to and from the 3D-organized structure of the Cubbi phase. At the SmC-Cubbi phase transition, several functions, such as optical property and viscosity, change dramatically, and thus it is anticipated that the UV-responsive Cubbi systems could be multifunctional soft materials. Furthermore, it should be stressed that the methodol. of simply using binary mixtures containing an azobenzene derivative can avoid the synthetic difficulty that impedes the development of such UV-responsive Cubbi systems.
