Abstract
Precise control over molecular movement is of fundamental and practical importance in physics, biology, and chemistry. At nanoscale, the peculiar functioning principles and the synthesis of individual molecular actuators and machines has been the subject of intense investigations and debates over the past 60 years. In this review, we focus on the design of collective motions that are achieved by integrating, in space and time, several or many of these individual mechanical units together. In particular, we provide an in-depth look at the intermolecular couplings used to physically connect a number of artificial mechanically active molecular units such as photochromic molecular switches, nanomachines based on mechanical bonds, molecular rotors, and light-powered rotary motors. We highlight the various functioning principles that can lead to their collective motion at various length scales. We also emphasize how their synchronized, or desynchronized, mechanical behavior can lead to emerging functional properties and to their implementation into new active devices and materials.

Poly(arylene ether)s with aromatic azo-coupled cobalt phthalocyanines in the side chain: synthesis, characterization and nonlinear optical and optical limiting properties. RSC Adv 2019; 9:9253-9259.

Abstract
A novel poly(arylene ether) with azo-coupled cobalt phthalocyanine in the side chain (PAE-azo-CoPc) was prepared by 1,2-benzodinitrile, anhydrous cobaltous chloride and a novel azobenzene-containing poly(aryl ether) (PAE-azo-DCN) via a nucleophilic substitution polycondensation based on a novel bisfluoro monomer, 4-[(3,4-cyanophenyl)diazenyl]phenyl-2,6-difluorobenzoate. The obtained polymers were characterized and evaluated by FT-IR, 1H NMR, DSC and TGA. PAE-azo-CoPc exhibited higher glass transition temperature and better thermal stability than PAE-azo-DCN because of the introduction of cobalt phthalocyanine groups. The results of Z-scan measurements demonstrated that PAE-azo-CoPc showed reversible saturable absorption and positive refraction, and PAE-azo-DCN showed saturable absorption and negative refraction. By calculation, PAE-azo-CoPc exhibited larger third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities than that of PAE-azo-DCN. The results of optical limiting measurements demonstrated that the PAE-azo-CoPc exhibited an excellent optical limiting response. A novel poly(arylene ether) with azo-coupled cobalt phthalocyanine in the side chain was prepared by 1,2-benzodinitrile, anhydrous cobaltous chloride and a novel azobenzene-containing poly(aryl ether).![]()

Abstract
In this paper, two novel azobenzene-containing poly(aryl ether)s with different absorption wavelengths were synthesized via Ullmann coupling and Sonogashira coupling, respectively. The obtained polymers were characterized and evaluated by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, UV-vis, DSC and TGA. Rare earth complexes were prepared by using the two novel azobenzene-containing poly(aryl ether)s as macromolecular ligands. The obtained rare earth complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and WAXD. The influence of the absorption wavelength of azobenzene chromophores on the fluorescent properties was investigated. The polymer whose absorption wavelength was far from the excitation wavelengths of the rare earth complexes showed a much larger fluorescence intensity. By exposing the films of the rare earth complexes to two interference laser beams, SRGs can be formed on the films and can also be detected by fluorescence microscopy measurement.

Abstract
A series of novel poly(aryl ether)s containing bisazobenzene moieties (bisazo-PAEs) have been synthesized based on a new bisazobenzene monomer, 4-(4-(4-nitrophenyl)diazenylphenyl)diazenylphenyl)-2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonate. Their chemical structures and properties were characterized by means of infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopies. These polymers show good thermal stability with glass transition temperatures above 160°C. the bisazo-PAEs show significant photoisomerization effect after irradiation with 405 nm light. By exposing the bisazo-PAEs films to an interference pattern of laser beams at modest intensity, significant surface-relief gratings can be formed.
