Rigidified malononitrile- and ketone-merocyanines in rigid environments
Macedonian Journal of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 2015 Two merocyanine dyes containing a malononitrile or a ketone functional group as electron-acceptors, and a piperidine group as electron-donor were synthetized and crystallized as pigments.

Synthesis and characterisation of spiropyran-polymer brushes in micro-capillaries: towards an integrated optical sensor for continuous flow analysis [PDF]
, 2011 Fused silica-capillaries were successfully functionalised with spiropyran-polymer brushes using spiropyran functionalised norbornyl derivative as monomer. The polymerisation was achieved by surface-initiated ring- opening metathesis polymerisation.

The dependence of the molecular first hyperpolarizabilities of merocyanines on ground-state polarization and length [PDF]
, 1994 We report here the dipole moment (µ) and first hyperpolarizability (β) determined by electric field-induced second harmonic generation, for several merocyanine dyes containing an 1,3,3-trimethylindoline heterocycle as a ‘donor’ in which the ‘acceptor ...

Reversible low-light induced photoswitching of crowned spiropyran-DO3A complexed with gadolinium(III) ions. [PDF]
, 2012 Photoswitchable spiropyran has been conjugated to the crowned ring system DO3A, which improves its solubility in dipolar and polar media and stabilizes the merocyanine isomer. Adding the lanthanide ion gadolinium(III) to the macrocyclic ring system leads

Light‐Programmable Interfaces: From Molecular Photoswitching to Adaptive Membrane Separations
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This review advances an interface‐centered framework for light‐responsive membranes, linking molecular photoswitches (azobenzene (AZO), spiropyran (SP), diarylethene (DAE), donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA), photoacid) to integration strategies in polymeric, porous, self‐assembled, and mixed‐matrix systems.
