Micro-patterning and actuation of phosphonium-based photo-responsive ionogels for micro-fluidic applications [PDF]
The concept of “Micro-total-analysis-Systems” or “Lab-on-chip” has emerged over the past 20-years but, despite of the fact their incredible potential to revolutionise analytical science few outputs have reached the market so far[1].

Photochemical Response of Electronically Reconfigurable Molecule-Based Switching Tunnel Junctions [PDF]
Robust molecular devices may be based on the photo‐switching between spiropyran and merocyanine isomers (see Scheme). The equilibrium has been investigated in a Langmuir–Blodgett film and then succesfully sandwiched into a solid‐state tunnel ...

Dynamics of a photochromic spiropyran under aqueous conditions
The dynamics of a water soluble spiropyran is investigated by means of femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy in the visible and infrared spectral range revealing an ultrafast reversible switching behavior under aqueous conditions with a high ...

Spiropyrans have played a pivotal role in the emergence of the field of chromism following their discovery in the early 20th century, with almost ubiquitous use in materials applications especially since their photochromism was discovered in 1952. Their versatility continues to lend them to application in increasingly diverse fields not least due to ...

Multi-purpose capillary-integrated optical sensors based on spiropyran [PDF]
Optical chemical sensors for liquid phase monitoring (overwhelmingly focused on water-based samples) often employ a dye or indicator that is immobilised onto a solid support material.

Smart molecular systems in which spiropyran based molecular switches play a key role are the central focus of this thesis. These systems respond to stimuli (e.g., light, pH, electricity, etc.) through a change in molecular, and thereby material, properties such as color, acidity, or conductivity, amongst others.
