Spiropyran-based dynamic materials
In the past few years, spiropyran has emerged as the molecule-of-choice for the construction of novel dynamic materials. This unique molecular switch undergoes structural isomerisation in response to a variety of orthogonal stimuli, e.g. light, temperature, metal ions, redox potential, and mechanical stress.

Thermally Bistable Stiff Stilbene Photoswitches and Polymer Applications
Thermally stable photoswitches offer new opportunities for controlling polymer structures and functions under nonequilibrium conditions. This Personal Account highlights stiff stilbene (SS) and sterically hindered stiff stilbene (HSS) photoswitches, which combine large structural changes with exceptional thermal bistability.

The excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) photoswitch tpmSA, which features an oxygen−acceptor, exhibits higher photochromic contrast (ΔE*Lab>74) than its nitrogen‐acceptor Schiff base analogues (ΔE*Lab<30). Theoretical calculations indicate that tpmSA effectively suppresses GSIPT, thereby enhancing the contrast.

Investigating nano-structured domains within ionic liquids: the effect of cation change on thermal equilibrium and relaxation of spiropyran and spirooxazine. [PDF]
The established belief that ionic liquids (ILs) behave as homogenous solvents such as that observed in molecular solvents has been challenged.1, 2 Previous use of solvatochromic probe dyes has allowed for the traditional parameter of ‘polarity’ to be ...
