Solvatochromism, Acidochromism and Photochromism of the 2,6-Bis(4-hydroxybenzylidene) Cyclohexanone Derivative [PDF]
In this paper, we studied the photophysical behavior of 2,6-bis(4-hydroxybenzylidene) cyclohexanone (BZCH) under the influence of various stimuli. The photophysical properties were correlated with different solvent parameters, such as the Kamlet–Abraham–Taft (KAT), Catalán, and Laurence solvent scales, suggesting that the behavior of BZCH is influenced

Photon-Working SwitchesProperties and Applications of Indolinooxazolidines as Photo-, Electro-, and Acidochromic Units [PDF]
The aim of this chapter was to introduce the readers to indolinooxazolidines (IndOxa), a new family of molecular switches. First, in a short historical account their evolution is followed from their first appearance in the 1970s until today.

Spiropyran‐Based Photoisomerizable α‐Amino Acid for Membrane‐Active Peptide Modification [PDF]
Photoisomerizable peptides are promising drug candidates in photopharmacology. While azobenzene- and diarylethene-containing photoisomerizable peptides have already demonstrated their potential in this regard, reports on the use of spiropyrans to ...

Photo-Modulated Proton Transport in Merocyanine Metastable-State Photoacid Based Polymers. [PDF]
The covalent incorporation of merocyanine metastable‐state photoacid into soft polymers imparts conductivity to otherwise insulating matrices, allowing light‐triggered control of charge and structure, offering a new platform for photo‐responsive, ion‐conducting materials.

Optical Force Monitoring in Polymeric Materials with a Coumarin-Based Mechanophore. [PDF]
Coumarin dyes are reacted with acrylates to form a mechanophore via an accessible two‐step synthesis that exhibits exclusive responsivity to force. Mechanical deformation of polymeric materials functionalized with the mechanophore activates blue fluorescence visible to the naked eye, enabling the optical detection of force‐induced molecular damage in ...

Twisted 1- and 2-Azaperopyrenes: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties. [PDF]
ABSTRACT A synthesis of hitherto unknown 1‐ and 2‐azaperopyrenes, twisted nitrogen‐doped peropyrenes, is reported. The synthesis is based on a Brønsted acid‐mediated benzannulation of alkynes. Key alkyne intermediates are synthesized via two complementary routes, including a Pd/C‐catalyzed, copper‐ and amine‐free Sonogashira‐type coupling of (hetero ...

Excited-State Proton Transfer in Push-Pull N-Methyl Pyridium Reversible Super-Photoacids Ruled by Intramolecular Hydrogen-Bond-Like Interactions. [PDF]
Push‐pull A+‐π‐D N‐methyl pyridinium derivatives were found to act as efficient reversible superphotoacids. Upon excitation, they undergo a fast ESPT but recombine with the released proton when the excitation is turned off. In the ortho isomers, intramolecular hydrogen‐bond‐like interactions between the hydroxyl group and the ethenic hydrogen are ...
