ABSTRACT
In this paper three different "push-pull" 4-aminoazobenzene dyes have been synthesized in order to characterize their photochromic behavior in different solvents. The molecular geometry was optimized by DFT/B3LYP functional combined with the standard 6-31+G(d,p) basis set for trans (E) and cis (Z) isomers and the energy levels of HOMO and LUMO frontier orbitals were computed using IEFPCM solvation in CHCl
