Chem Asian J 2023; 18:e202300712. [PMID: 37735950 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202300712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
The mechanofluorochromic (MFC) characteristics of anthracene-based acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) fluorescent molecules are explored through a comprehensive investigation of their photophysical behaviors. Six 9,10-diheteroarylanthracene derivatives with varying acceptor groups (pyridin-4-yl, pyridin-3-yl, pyridin-2-yl, pyrimidin-5-yl, pyrazinyl and quinoxalinyl) are synthesized and systematically characterized. The photophysical properties in both solution and solid-state are examined, revealing subtle yet significant influences of the spatial arrangement and number of nitrogen atoms within the acceptor group on fluorescence emission. Single-crystal structures of these compounds provide insights into their steric configurations and intermolecular packing modes, offering valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms that underlie the observed MFC properties. This study illuminates the intricate interplay between MFC properties and the refined molecular structure, thus presenting promising avenues for the design and advancement of novel MFC materials.

Abstract
The development of eco-friendly anti-counterfeiting materials with high optical transparency and bright luminescence in the aggregate state is tremendously challenging. Herein, waterborne polyurethane/tetraphenylethylene-cellulose nanocrystal (WPU/TPE-CNC) nanocomposite aqueous solutions and films were prepared via direct blending aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active fluorescent CNCs (TPE-CNCs) with WPU and then applied in the anti-counterfeiting field. TPE-CNCs are compatible with WPU and dispersed homogeneously in the nanocomposite aqueous solutions and films. The thermal stability and mechanical properties of these films significantly improved with the increase in the content of TPE-CNCs. WPU/TPE-CNC nanocomposite films display high transparency (above 80%), excellent fluorescence properties, high mechanical strength, and good flexibility and then successfully applied to anti-counterfeit marking. Moreover, the dispersions of the aqueous WPU/TPE-CNC nanocomposite were nearly colorless and demonstrated promise as fluorescent anti-counterfeiting inks. This novel eco-friendly nanocomposite exhibited the potential for applications in anti-counterfeiting, fluorescent transparent paper and coating, fluorescent 3D printing, and optical/sensing devices.

Abstract
Colloidal materials have widely been used to develop innovative anticounterfeiting nanoinks for information encryption. Latex nanoparticles based on methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) bearing hydroxyl functional groups were synthesized via semicontinuous miniemulsion polymerization. The size determination of the nanoparticles and microscopic results showed mostly spherical nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution and a mean size of about 80 nm. Two oxazolidine derivatives were physically doped at the surface of the nanoparticles to prepare photoluminescent polymer nanoparticles. Hydroxyl functional groups at the surface of the nanoparticles led to their hydrogen bonding interactions with the doped luminescent compounds. Optical analysis of the photoluminescent nanoparticles displayed different fluorescence emission and UV-vis absorbance intensities based on the amount of polar groups located at the surface of colloidal nanoparticles. Reducing the particle size to below 100 nm along with increasing the surface area can assist the decrease of the light reflectance and improvement of the latex nanoparticles' efficiency in the anticounterfeiting industry. This preparation methodology can efficiently provide remarkable photoreversible anticounterfeiting nanoinks used in different applications, such as print marking, security encoded tags, labeling, probing, and handwriting.

Abstract
Photochemical reactions that produce a detectable change in the spectroscopic properties of organic chromophores can be exploited to harness the principles of Boolean algebra and design molecule-based logic circuits. Moreover, the logic processing capabilities of these photoactive molecules can be directed to protect, encode, and conceal information at the molecular level. We have designed a photochemical strategy to read, write and encrypt data in the form of optical signals. We have synthesized a supramolecular system based on the known dye resazurin, and investigated a series of photochemical transformations that can be used to regulate its absorption and emission properties upon illumination with ultraviolet or visible light. We have then examined the logic behaviour of the photochemistry involved, and illustrated its potential application in data encryption.

Abstract
Dynamic fluorescence patterns with variable output in response to external stimulus can make the current information storage technologies more flexible and intelligent. Yet it remains a great challenge to create such dynamic patterns because of the complicated synthesis process, high cost, limited stability, and biocompatibility of the functional fluorophores. Herein, a facile approach is presented for creating dynamic fluorescence patterns using the photodynamic surface chemistry based on disulfide bonds. By this method, high-resolution (≈20 µm) multicolor dynamic fluorescence patterns that are low-cost and dynamically rewritable can be easily fabricated using classical fluorophores such as fluorescein, rhodamine, and dansyl acid. Owing to the spatio-temporal controllability of light, the fluorescence patterns can be partly or entirely erased/rewritten on demand, and complex gray-level fluorescence images with increased information capacity can be easily generated. The obtained fluorescence patterns exhibit little changes after storing in air and solvent environments for 100 days, demonstrating their high stability. In addition, static patterns can also be created on the same disulfide surface using irreversible disulfide-ene chemistry, to selectively control the dynamicity of the generated fluorescence patterns. The authors show the successful application of this strategy on information protection and transformation.

Abstract
Atmospheric water harvesting, triphasic detection of water contaminants, and advanced antiforgery measures are among important global agendas, where metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as an incipient class of multifaceted materials, can affect substantial development of individual properties at the interface of tailor-made fabrication. The chemically robust and microporous MOF, encompassing contrasting pore functionalization, exhibits an S-shaped water adsorption curve at 300 K with a steep pore-filling step near P/P0 = 0.5 and shows reversible uptake-release performance. Density functional theory (DFT) studies provide atomistic-level snapshots of sequential insertion of H2O molecules inside the porous channels and also portray H-bonding interactions with polar functional sites in the two-fold interpenetrated structure. The highly emissive attribute with an electron-pull system benefits the fast-responsive framework and highly regenerable detection of four classes of organic pollutants (2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP), dichloran, aniline, and nicotine) in water at a record-low sensitivity. In addition to solid-, liquid-, and vapor-phase sensing, host-guest-mediated reversible fluoroswitching is validated through repetitive paper-strip monitoring and image-based detection of food sample contamination. Structure-property synergism in the electron transfer route of sensing is justified from DFT calculations that describe the reshuffling of molecular orbital energy levels in an electron-rich network by each organotoxin, besides evidencing framework-analyte supramolecular interactions. The MOF further delineates the pH-responsive luminescence defect repair via site-specific emission modulation, wherein reversibly alternated "encrypted and decrypted" states are utilized as highly reusable anticounterfeiting labels over multiple platforms and conceptualized as artificial molecular switches. Aiming at self-calibrated, advanced security claims, a NOR-OR coupled logic gate is devised based on commensurate fluorescence-cum-real-time synchronous detection of organic and inorganic (HCl and NH3) pollutants.

The influence of the amino-electron-donating group on the photophysical properties was studied. These compounds, highly thermally stable, exhibit orange-red emission in solution and in solid state. The experimental results have been rationalized by theoretical DFT calculations. The second order nonlinear optical properties were also studied using the electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) method.

Abstract
The performance of tunable emissions in aggregates is highly desirable but challenging owing to the restricted molecular conformations of luminogens. Herein, we designed and synthesized a new "flexible" luminogen, a carborane-cored compound NAPH, which exhibits variable photophysical behaviours in aggregates, such as aggregation-induced emission, crystallization-induced emission, polymorph-dependent emission, and mechanochromic luminescence. Moreover, the two polymorphs with different emission colors show opposite mechano-responsive luminescence, which is rarely observed for single-component luminescent materials. Both theoretical calculations and photophysical experiments reveal that the carborane-cored luminogen could afford variable conformations. This endows the whole molecule with multiple conformations in aggregates, thus leading to variable emission behaviours. Therefore, the present work provides new access to the construction of multifunctional single-component solid-state luminescent materials.

Abstract
Anticounterfeiting paintings are usually with limited colors and easy blurring and need to be dispersed in an environmentally unfriendly organic solvent. We report a set of water-based polyion micellar inks to solve all these problems. Upon complexation of reversible coordination polymers formed with rare earth metal ions Eu3+ and Tb3+ and the aggregation-induced emission ligand tetraphenylethylene-L2EO4 with oppositely charged block polyelectrolyte P2MVP29-b-PEO205, we are able to generate polyion micelles displaying three elementary emission colors of red (R) (ΦEu3+ = 24%), green (G) (ΦTb3+ = 7%), and blue (B) (ΦTPE = 9%). Full-spectrum emission and white light emission (0.34, 0.34) become possible by simply mixing the R, G, and B micelles at the desired fraction. Strikingly, the micellar inks remain stable even after soaking in water or organic solvents (ethyl acetate, ethanol, etc.) for 24 h. We envision that polyion micelles would open a new paradigm in the field of anticounterfeiting.
