Nanoparticle-induced transition from positive to negative photochromism

open access: yes, 2007
A photochromic spiropyran with a pendant dithiolane ring adsorbs on the surface of CdS nanoparticles. The adsorbed ligand retains its photochromic properties after surface confinement.

Photo‐Switchable FRET‐Enabled Flexible Luminescent Films for Multilevel Optical Security

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
A light‐gated FRET composite integrates a Tb‐Phen donor and a spiropyran acceptor in a polyurethane matrix. Under 365 nm light, spiropyran is transformed into merocyanine, creating spectral overlap with Tb3+ emission and activating energy transfer. Visible light reverses the switch, restoring green emission and enabling reversible multilevel optical ...

Photochromic Donor–Acceptor Naphthalenediimides Enabling Near‐Infrared Photothermal Conversion for Seawater Desalination

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Photoinduced radical formation in donor–acceptor NDI molecules generates strong near‐infrared absorption, enabling efficient photothermal conversion and solar‐driven seawater desalination. ABSTRACT Photochromic donor–acceptor molecules that produce near‐infrared (NIR) absorption upon light activation offer promising platforms for organic photothermal ...

Photoreactions and Structural Changes of Anabaena Sensory Rhodopsin

open access: yesSensors, 2009
Anabaena sensory rhodopsin (ASR) is an archaeal-type rhodopsin found in eubacteria. The gene encoding ASR forms a single operon with ASRT (ASR transducer) which is a 14 kDa soluble protein, suggesting that ASR functions as a photochromic sensor by ...

High Fatigue‐Resistant Photoswitches Based on iridium(III)‐DTE Systems

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Coordination to iridium(III) enhances fatigue resistance over multiple photoswitching cycles in diarylethenes. This metal coordination modulates photoresponse relative to the free ligands under identical irradiation conditions, opening new avenues for practical applications.'' ABSTRACT A series of four differently substituted nonsymmetrical ...
