The ammonium‐azonium tautomerism of protonated push–pull‐ or dialkylaminoazobenzenes has been subject of research for single molecular dyes but not for the interesting architectures of polymers or gels. To address this gap in knowledge, two different types of polymer systems are devised. First, a 2‐...
