A　series　of　D-pi-A　type　azobenzenes　with　a　ferrocenyl/ferrocenylethynyl　electron　donor　at　the　para/meta-position　have　been　synthesized　and　characterized　by　electrochemistry　and　UV-vis　spectroscopy.　Compared　to　the　D-pi　type　meta-ferrocenyl/ferrocenylethynyl　azobenzenes,　the　photoisomerization　properties　of　D-pi-A　type　meta-ferrocenyl/ferrocenylethynyl　azobenzene　are　significantly　improved.　The　photoisomerization　properties　of　D-pi-A　type　meta-ferrocenyl　azobenzene　are　significantly　different　from　those　of　D-pi-A　type　para-ferrocenyl　azobenzene,　due　to　the　electronic　communication　influenced　by　the　substitution　position　of　the　redox　center　on　the　azobenzene　moiety.　Among　the　derivatives,　compound　17　exhibits　the　highest　amount　of　the　cis　form　(97%)　in　the　photostationary　state　(PSS)　upon　UV　light　(365　nm)　irradiation.　Compounds　13　and　15-17　exhibit　excellent　fatigue　resistance　and　reversibility　upon　several　reversible　isomerization　cycles.
