Photosensitizing Au(I) Catalysis With Coumarins
A Au(I) complex with a tethered coumarin fragment was synthesized and characterized by UV‐vis and emission spectroscopy. Its ability to facilitate photo‐driven cross‐coupling reactions through single‐electron and energy transfer events was evaluated. ABSTRACT Gold catalysis shows versatility in a wide range of challenging transformations, wherein light‐

Light‐Enhanced Chloride Transport by Thiourea‐Appended Molecular Motor
A molecular motor functionalized with a thiourea anion‐binding motif mediates transmembrane chloride transport. Light irradiation enhances transport efficiency by populating a more active metastable isomer, which slowly equilibrates to the initial stable isomer.

Metal‐Ion Regulated Light‐Free Z→E Isomerization of Azobenzene Glycomacrocycle
Metal ion‐catalyzed Z→E isomerization of photoswitchable azobenzene glycomacrocycle: A new azobenzene‐based glycomacrocycle is capable of forming a 1:1 complex with divalent metal ions in both E‐ and Z‐isomers. The complexes undergo light‐free Z→E isomerization in a timescale spanning from seconds to weeks.

Following a structure‐based design approach, photoswitchable derivatives of the FDA‐approved drug suvorexant were designed, docked, synthesized, and characterized pharmacologically at the orexin 1 and 2 receptors (OX1R and OX2R). Optimized “photorexant” showed up to an 11‐fold difference in IC50 between photoisomers, enabled dynamic and reversible ...
