Abstract: The novel metacyclophanes with chalcone moieties were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation. These α,β-unsaturated ketones were photoisomerized from the all-trans configuration to the partial trans configuration by 365 nm light irradiation, and then, these cis photoisomers were thermally reversed
