Tuning the Circularly Polarized Reflection from Cholesteric Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Using Molecular Photoswitches

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.
Molecular photoswitches dispersed in a cholesteric hydroxypropyl cellulose mesophase enable reversible, light‐driven tuning of structural color and polarization. Enantiomer‐specific effects and light‐responsive patterning highlight the potential of dynamic, cellulose‐based photonic materials.

Red-Shifted Environmental Fluorophores and Their Use for the Detection of Gram-Negative Bacteria

open access: yesChemosensors, 2021
Two novel, water-soluble, merocyanine fluorophores were readily prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis. Full optical characterization was performed in a series of protic and aprotic solvents, and the dyes displayed fluorescence in the red region with ...

Unusual Swelling Behavior of Hydrogels Modified with Spiropyran as Appendage or Crosslinker

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Not so innocent after all—spiropyran crosslinkers in methylenebisacrylamide‐crosslinked poly(acrylamide‐co‐acrylic acid) hydrogels increase crosslinking density, but also, counterintuitively, increase swelling. Charge complexation, cooperative chemo‐mechanical effects, and aggregation may explain these observations.

The origin of the solvent dependence of fluorescence quantum yields in dipolar merocyanine dyes

open access: yesChemical Science, 2019
An increasing activation energy barrier to a conical intersection was identified as the reason for higher fluorescence lifetimes and quantum yields for merocyanines in polar solvents.

Investigating Mitochondrial Viscosity in Ferroptosis‐Mediated Drug‐Induced Liver Injury using a Double‐Targeted Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Utilizing a mitochondrial double‐targeted strategy, a novel near‐infrared fluorescent probe (FTZ‐2) is established for monitoring viscosity variations in ferroptosis‐mediated drug‐induced liver injury. In summary, this work provided a practical strategy for the early diagnosis and evaluation of liver injury.

Nonlinear Optical Molecular Switches for Alkali Ion Identification

open access: yesMolecules, 2014
This work demonstrates by means of DFT and ab initio calculations that recognition of alkali cations can be achieved by probing the variations of the second-order nonlinear optical properties along the commutation process in spiropyran/merocyanine ...

Determining the Accessibility of Zeolite L Channels Using the Color Change of Thionine Dyes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Host-guest materials are created when a guest dye molecule enters the channels within the zeolite host, which can be useful to understand how molecules act in a constrained environment.

Transient absorption spectroscopy on spiropyran monolayers using nanosecond pump–probe Brewster angle reflectometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Self-assembled monolayers of 11-(3’,3’-dimethyl-6,8-dinitrospiro[chromene-2,2’-indoline]-1’-yl) undecanoic acid (amphiphilic spiropyran) at the air–water interface are studied using Brewster angle reflectometry.

Induced‐Fit Recognition by a Calixarene–Pyrene Conjugate for Single‐ and Dual‐Wavelength Fluorescence Sensing in Water

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A sulfonatocalix[4]arene–pyrene conjugate functions as a fluorescence chemosensor for the optical detection of biorelevant analytes in water. Its photoinduced electron transfer (PET) response is triggered by an induced‐fit recognition mechanism. Noncovalent assembly with an additional dye affords dual‐color ratiometric signaling via competitive PET ...

Synthesis and metal binding properties of N-alkylcarboxyspiropyrans

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2017
Spiropyrans bearing an N-alkylcarboxylate tether are a common structure in dynamic, photoactive materials and serve as colourimetric/fluorimetric cation receptors.
