We report an expanded Texas-sized molecular box (AzoTxSB) that incorporates photo responsive azobenzene bridging subunits and anion recognition motifs. The shape of this box can be switched through light induced E <-> Z photoisomerization of the constituent azobenzenes. This allows various anionic substrates to be bound and released by using different forms of the box. Control can also be achieved using other environmental stimuli, such as pH and anion competition.
