Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an important non-invasive cancer treatment method. Enhancing the photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of photothermal agents (PTAs) and prolonging their tumor accumulation and retention are effective strategies to enhance the efficiency of cancer PTT. Recently, tremendous progress has been made in developing stimuli-responsive aggregable gold nanoparticles as effective PTAs for PTT. In this review, we discuss the chemical principles underlying gold nanoparticle aggregation and highlight the progress in gold nanoparticle aggregation triggered by different stimuli, especially tumor microenvironment-related factors, for cancer PTT. Covalent condensation reactions, click cycloaddition reactions, chelation reactions, and Au-S bonding, as well as non-covalent electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals forces play key roles in the aggregation of gold nanoparticles. Enzymes, pH, reactive oxygen species, small molecules, salts, and light drive the occurrence of gold nanoparticle aggregation. Targeted aggregation of gold nanoparticles prolongs tumor accumulation and retention of PTAs and improves PCE, resulting in enhanced tumor PTT. Moreover, the major challenges of aggregable gold nanoparticles as PTAs are pointed out and the promising applications are also prospected at the end. With the deepening of research, we expect aggregable gold nanoparticles to become essential PTAs for tumor therapy.

Abstract
The antifouling effects of a toothbrush-shaped photo-responsive polyzwitterionic membrane were studied via dissipative particle dynamics simulations in this work. The results reveal that the membrane modified by spiropyran methacrylate brushes displays photo-switchable and antifouling capability due to the photo-induced ring-opening reaction. Namely, surface morphology and hydrophilicity change in response to visible or UV light irradiation, which can be observed visually by protein adsorption and desorption. Further study indicates that: (1) brush-modification density can influence the structure and properties of the membrane. With low modification density, systems cannot establish an intact selective layer, which hinders the antifouling ability; as the modification density increases, the intact selective layer can be formed, which is conducive to the expression of photo-responsiveness and antifouling capability. (2) Factors of toothbrush-hair length and grafting ratio can influence the establishment of a light-responsive surface: as the grafting ratio and toothbrush-hair length increase, the light-responsive surface is gradually formed, meanwhile, the antifouling ability can be continuously reinforced under UV light irradiation. (3) As the brushes switch into a zwitterionic merocyanine state under UV exposure, the selective layer swelling becomes stronger than that with a hydrophobic spiropyran state under visible exposure. This is owing to the enhanced interaction between zwitterionic brushes and water, which is the root of the antifouling effect. The present work is expected to provide some guidelines for the design and development of novel antifouling membrane surfaces.

Abstract
Multiresponsive materials with reversible and durable characteristics are indispensable because of their promising applications in environmental change detections. To fabricate multiresponsive materials in mass production, however, complex reactions and impractical situations are often involved. Herein, a dual responsive (light and pH) spiropyran-based smart sensor fabricated by a simple layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly process from upcycled thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) materials derived from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (r-PET) is proposed. Positively charged chitosan solutions and negatively charged merocyanine-COOH (MC-COOH) solutions are employed in the LbL assembly technique, forming the chitosan-spiropyran deposited TPEE (TPEE-CH-SP) film. Upon UV irradiation, the spiropyran-COOH (SP-COOH) molecules on the TPEE-CH-SP film undergo the ring-opening isomerization, along with an apparent color change from colorless to purple, to transform into the MC-COOH molecules. By further exposing the TPEE-CH-MC film to hydrogen chloride (HCl) and nitric acid (HNO3) vapors, the MC-COOH molecules can be transformed into protonated merocyanine-COOH (MCH-COOH) with the simultaneous color change from purple to yellow.

Abstract
Controllable photofluorochromic systems with high contrast and multicolor in both solutions and solid states are ideal candidates for the development of dynamic artificial intelligence. However, it is still challenging to realize multiple photochromism within one single molecule, not to mention good controllability. Herein, we report an aggregation-induced emission luminogen TPE-2MO2NT that undergoes oxidation cleavage upon light irradiation and is accompanied by tunable multicolor emission from orange to blue with time-dependence. The photocleavage mechanism revealed that the self-generation of reactive oxidants driving the catalyst-free oxidative cleavage process. A comprehensive analysis of TPE-2MO2NT and other comparative molecules demonstrates that the TPE-2MO2NT molecular scaffold can be easily modified and extended. Further, the multicolor microenvironmental controllability of TPE-2MO2NT photoreaction within polymer matrices enables the fabrication of dynamic fluorescence images and 4D information codes, providing strategies for advanced controllable information encryption.

Abstract
We performed a computational investigation of the photoisomerization of an unsubstituted spiropyran in solution using surface hopping molecular dynamics simulations in a semiempirical framework. To bring out the solvent effects on the excited state dynamics, we have run simulations in three different environments: chloroform, methanol, and ethylene glycol. We show that the interaction with a moderately polar solvent such as chloroform has little effect on the dynamics when compared to vacuum results previously obtained by our group. At variance, the interaction with the protic solvents considered considerably affects the reaction mechanism, the quantum yield, and the excited state lifetimes.

Abstract
In daily life, counterfeit and substandard products, particularly currency, medicine, food, and confidential documents, are capable of bringing about very serious consequences. The development of anti-counterfeiting and authentication technologies with multilevel securities is a powerful means to overcome this challenge. Among various anti-counterfeiting technologies, fluorescent anti-counterfeiting technology is well-known and commonly used to fight counterfeiters due to its wide material source, low cost, simple usage, good concealment, and simple response mechanism. Spiropyran is favored by scientists in the fields of anti-counterfeiting and information encryption due to its reversible photochromic property. Here, we summarize the current available spiropyran-based fluorescent materials from design to anti-counterfeiting applications. This review will be help scientists to design and develop fluorescent anti-counterfeiting materials with high security, high performance, quick response, and high anti-counterfeiting level.

Abstract
In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the research of photoswitchable probes. These probes undergo reversible structural and electronic changes upon light exposure, thus exhibiting vast potential in molecular detection, biological imaging, material science, and information storage. Through precisely engineered molecular structures, the photoswitchable probes can toggle between "on" and "off" states at specific wavelengths, enabling highly sensitive and selective detection of targeted analytes. This review systematically presents photoswitchable fluorescent and colorimetric probes built on various molecular photoswitches, primarily focusing on the types involving photoswitching in their detection and/or signal response processes. It begins with an analysis of various molecular photoswitches, including their photophysical properties, photoisomerization and photochromic mechanisms, and fundamental design concepts for constructing photoswitchable probes. The article then elaborates on the applications of these probes in detecting diverse targets, including cations, anions, small molecules, and biomacromolecules. Finally, it offers perspectives on the current state and future development of photoswitchable probes. This review aims to provide a clear introduction for researchers in the field and guidance for the design and application of new, efficient fluorescent and colorimetric probes.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) optical microscopy, combined with advanced tissue clearing, permits in situ interrogation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in large volumetric tumors for preclinical cancer research. Light sheet (also known as ultramicroscopy) and confocal fluorescence microscopy are often used to achieve macroscopic and microscopic 3D images of optically cleared tumor tissues, respectively. Although each technique offers distinct fields of view (FOVs) and spatial resolution, the combination of these two optical microscopy techniques to obtain correlative multiscale 3D images from the same tumor tissues has not yet been explored. To establish correlative multiscale 3D optical microscopy, we developed a method for optically marking defined regions of interest (ROIs) within a cleared mouse tumor by employing a UV light-activated visible dye and Z-axis position-selective UV irradiation in a light sheet microscope system. By integrating this method with subsequent tissue processing, including physical ROI marking, reversal of tissue clearing, tissue macrosectioning, and multiplex immunofluorescence, we established a workflow that enables the tracking and 3D imaging of ROIs within tumor tissues through sequential light sheet and confocal fluorescence microscopy. This approach allowed for quantitative 3D spatial analysis of the immune response in the TME of a mouse mammary tumor following cancer immunotherapy at multiple spatial scales. The workflow also facilitated the direct localization of a metastatic lesion within a whole mouse brain. These results demonstrate that our ROI tracking method and its associated workflow offer a novel approach for correlative multiscale 3D optical microscopy, with the potential to provide new insights into tumor heterogeneity, metastasis, and response to therapy at various spatial levels.

Abstract
The stability of merocyanine forms formed under UV irradiation of a solution of a spiropyran salt, in which an organic part acts as a cation and a compact bromide ion as an anion, their photophysical properties, and the formation mechanism are studied in this work using time-dependent density functional theory. Theoretical calculations show that TTC and CTT are the most stable open forms (the difference in stability energies is 10.5 and 12.0 kcal mol-1 relative to the formation energy of spiropyran, respectively). The simulated absorption bands in the UV spectrum of the merocyanine forms are observed both in the UV region at 308-366 nm and in the visible region at 544-757 nm due to n → π* and π → π* type transitions. We found that the isomerisation mechanism of spiropyran into merocyanine forms includes two key stages: the ring opening to form cisoid merocyanine forms (except unstable TCC) through conical intersection and their subsequent isomerisation to form stable transoid isomers. The length of the Cspiro-O bond is 1.97 Å and the C1'-C2'-C3'-C4' angle is 70° in the structure close to conical intersection. The stage that determines the rate of this process is the isomerisation between transoid forms, as in the case of transformation of open merocyanine forms into spiropyran.

Abstract
Advanced functional polymeric materials based on spiropyrans (SPs) feature multi-stimuli responsive characteristics, such as a change in color with exposure to light (photochromism) or acids (halochromism). The inclusion of stimuli-responsive molecules in general - and SPs in particular - as main-chain repeating units is a scarcely explored macromolecular architecture compared to side chain responsive polymers. Herein, we establish the effects of substitution patterns on SPs within a homopolymer main-chain synthesized via head-to-tail Acyclic Diene METathesis (ADMET) polymerization. We unambiguously demonstrate that varying the location of the ester group (-OCOR) on the chromophore, which is essential to incorporate the SPs in the polymer backbone, determines the photo- and halochromism of the resulting polymers. While one polymer shows effective photochromism and resistance towards acids, the opposite - weak photochromism and effective response to acid - is observed for an isomeric polymer, simply by changing the position of the ester-linker relative to the benzopyran oxygen on the chromene unit. Our strategy represents a simple approach to manipulate the stimuli-response of main-chain SP bearing polymers and highlights the critical importance of isomeric molecular constitution on main-chain stimuli-sensitive polymers as emerging materials.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymers have found applications as shape-memory materials, optical switches, and sensors, but the installation of these responsive properties in non-polar and inert polyolefins is challenging. In this contribution, a series of spiropyran (SP)-based comonomers are synthesized and copolymerized with ethylene or ethylene/cyclic monomers. In addition to great mechanical and surface properties, these functionalized polyolefins responded to light, heat, and force, which induced changes in the polymer structure to transmit color or mechanical signals. These interesting responsive properties are also installed in a series of commercial polyolefin materials through reactive extrusion, making the scalable production of these materials possible.

Abstract
Photoacids are organic molecules that release protons under illumination, providing spatiotemporal control of the pH. Such light-driven pH switches offer the ability to cyclically alter the pH of the medium and are highly attractive for a wide variety of applications, including CO2 capture. Although photoacids such as protonated merocyanine can enable fully reversible pH cycling in water, they have a limited chemical stability against hydrolysis (<24 h). Moreover, these photoacids have low solubility, which limits the pH-switching ability in a buffered solution such as dissolved CO2. In this work, we introduce a simple pathway to dramatically increase stability and solubility of photoacids by tuning their solvation environment in binary solvent mixtures. We show that a preferential solvation of merocyanine by aprotic solvent molecules results in a 60% increase in pH modulation magnitude when compared to the behavior in pure water and can withstand stable cycling for >350 h. Our results suggest that a very high stability of merocyanine photoacids can be achieved in the right solvent mixtures, offering a way to bypass complex structural modifications of photoacid molecules and serving as the key milestone toward their application in a photodriven CO2 capture process.

Abstract
The development of precision personalized medicine poses a significant need for the next generation of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, and one of the key challenges is the development of highly time-, space-, and dose-controllable drug delivery systems that respond to the complex physiopathology of patient populations. In response to this challenge, an increasing number of stimuli-responsive smart materials are integrated into biomaterial systems for precise targeted drug delivery. Among them, responsive microcapsules prepared by droplet microfluidics have received much attention. In this study, we present a UV-visible light cycling mediated photoswitchable microcapsule (PMC) with dynamic permeability-switching capability for precise and tailored drug release. The PMCs were fabricated using a programmable pulsed aerodynamic printing (PPAP) technique, encapsulating an aqueous core containing magnetic nanoparticles and the drug doxorubicin (DOX) within a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) composite shell modified by PEG-b-PSPA. Selective irradiation of PMCs with ultraviolet (UV) or visible light (Vis) allows for high-precision time-, space-, and dose-controlled release of the therapeutic agent. An experimentally validated theoretical model was developed to describe the drug release pattern, holding promise for future customized programmable drug release applications. The therapeutic efficacy and value of patternable cancer cell treatment activated by UV radiation is demonstrated by our experimental results. After in vitro transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), PMCs can be removed by external magnetic fields to mitigate potential side effects. Our findings demonstrate that PMCs have the potential to integrate embolization, on-demand drug delivery, magnetic actuation, and imaging properties, highlighting their immense potential for tailored drug delivery and embolic therapy.

Abstract
The stable and efficient photochromic and photoswitchable molecular systems designed from spirooxazines are of increasing scientific and practical interest because of their present and future applications in advanced technologies. Among these compounds, chelating spironaphthoxazines have received widespread attention due to their efficient optical response after complexation with some metal ions being of biomedical interest and environmental importance, as well as their good cycle performance and high reliability, especially by metal ion sensing. In this mini-review, we summarize our results in the design of novel photoswitchable chelating spironaphthoxazines with specific substituents in their naphthoxazine or indoline ring systems in view of recent progress in the development of such molecular systems and their applications as metal ion sensors. The design, synthesis methods, and photoresponse of such spirooxazine derivatives relevant to their applications, as well as quantum-chemical calculations for these compounds, are presented. Examples of various design concepts are discussed, such as sulfobutyl, hydroxyl, benzothiazolyl, or ester and carboxylic acid as substituents in the chelating spironaphthoxazine molecules. Further developments and improvements of this interesting and promising kind of molecular photoswitches are outlined.

Abstract
Reversible biointerfaces are essential for on-demand molecular recognition to regulate stimuli-responsive bioactivity such as specific interactions with cell membranes. The reversibility on a single platform allows the smart material to kill pathogens or attach/detach cells. Herein, we introduce a 2D-MoS2 functionalized with cationic azobenzene that interacts selectively with either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria in a light-gated fashion. The trans conformation (trans-Azo-MoS2 ) selectively kills Gram-negative bacteria, whereas the cis form (cis-Azo-MoS2 ), under UV light, exhibits antibacterial activity against Gram-positive strains. The mechanistic investigation indicates that the cis-Azo-MoS2 exhibits higher affinity towards the membrane of Gram-positive bacteria compared to trans-Azo-MoS2 . In case of Gram-negative bacteria, trans-Azo-MoS2 internalizes more efficiently than cis-Azo-MoS2 and generates intracellular ROS to kill the bacteria. While the trans-Azo-MoS2 exhibits strong electrostatic interactions and internalizes faster into Gram-negative bacterial cells, cis-Azo-MoS2 primarily interacts with Gram-positive bacteria through hydrophobic and H-bonding interactions. The difference in molecular mechanism leads to photo-controlled Gram-selectivity and enhanced antibacterial activity. We found strain-specific and high bactericidal activity (minimal bactericidal concentration, 0.65 μg/ml) with low cytotoxicity, which we extended to wound healing applications. This methodology provides a single platform for efficiently switching between conformers to reversibly control the strain-selective bactericidal activity regulated by light.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive molecular systems support within permanently porous materials offer the opportunity to host dynamic functions in multifunctional smart materials. However, the construction of highly porous frameworks featuring external-stimuli responsiveness, for example by light excitation, is still in its infancy. Here a general strategy is presented to construct spiropyran-functionalized highly porous switchable aromatic frameworks by modular and high-precision anchoring of molecular hooks and an innovative in situ solid-state grafting approach. Three spiropyran-grafted frameworks bearing distinct functional groups exhibiting various stimuli-responsiveness are generated by two-step post-solid-state synthesis of a parent indole-based material. The quantitative transformation and preservation of high porosity are demonstrated by spectroscopic and gas adsorption techniques. For the first time, a highly efficient strategy is provided to construct multi-stimuli-responsive, yet structurally robust, spiropyran materials with high pore capacity which is proved essential for the reversible and quantitative isomerization in the bulk as demonstrated by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The overall strategy allows to construct dynamic materials that undergoes reversible transformation of spiropyran to zwitterionic merocyanine, by chemical and physical stimulation, showing potential for pH active control, responsive gas uptake and release, contaminant removal, and water harvesting.

Abstract
Thioindigos are visible light responsive photoswitches with excellent spatial control over the conformational change between their trans- and cis- isomers. However, they possess limited solubility in all conventional organic solvents and polymers, hindering their application in soft matter materials. Herein, we introduce a strategy for the covalent insertion of thioindigo units into polymer main chains, enabling thioindigos to function within crosslinked polymeric hydrogels. We overcome their solubility issue by developing a thioindigo bismethacrylate linker able to undergo radical initiated thiol-ene reaction for step-growth polymerization, generating indigo-containing polymers. The optimal wavelength for the reversible trans-/cis- isomerisation of thioindigo was elucidated by constructing a detailed photochemical action plot of their switching efficiencies at a wide range of monochromatic wavelengths. Critically, indigo-containing polymers display significant photoswitching of the materials' optical and physical properties in organic solvents and water. Furthermore, the photoswitching of thioindigo within crosslinked structures enables visible light induced modulation of the hydrogel stiffness. Both the thioindigo-containing hydrogels and photoswitching processes are non-toxic to cells, thus offering opportunities for advanced applications in soft matter materials and biology-related research.

Abstract
Light-gated chemical reactions allow spatial and temporal control of chemical processes. Here, we suggest a new system for controlling pH-sensitive processes with light using two photobases of Arrhenius and Brønsted types. Only after light excitation do Arrhenius photobases undergo hydroxide ion dissociation, while Brønsted photobases capture a proton. However, none can be used alone to reversibly control pH due to the limitations arising from excessively fast or overly slow photoreaction timescales. We show here that combining the two types of photobases allows light-triggered and reversible pH control. We show an application of this method in directing the pH-dependent reaction pathways of the organic dye Alizarin Red S simply by switching between different wavelengths of light, i. e., irradiating each photobase separately. The concept of a light-controlled system shown here of a sophisticated interplay between two photobases can be integrated into various smart functional and dynamic systems.

Giuri D, Ravarino P, Tomasini C. Transparent Organogels as a Medium for the Light-Induced Conversion from Spiropyran to Merocyanine. Gels 2023; 9:932. [PMID: 38131918 PMCID: PMC10742928 DOI: 10.3390/gels9120932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Low-molecular-weight peptide gelators are a versatile class of compounds able to form gels under a variety of conditions, even via simple ultrasound sonication. In this paper, the ability of Boc-L-Phe-D-Oxd-L-Phe-OBn to gelate three organic solvents (toluene, tert-butyl methyl ether, and ethanol) was evaluated. The rheological behaviour of the materials was assessed via strain sweep analysis, while the fibrous network was analysed via optical microscopy on the wet gels. The gel obtained from toluene is a highly transparent material, and the one from ethanol appears translucent, while the one from tert-butyl methyl ether is opaque. These gels were used to study the reversible light-induced transformation from spyropiran (SP) to merocyanine (MC) and back, as a model system to check the effect of the gel medium onto the rection kinetic. We observed that the solvent used to form the organogels has a crucial effect on the reaction, as gels from aprotic solvents stabilize the SP form, while the ones from protic solvents stabilize the MC form. We thus obtained a solid support to stabilize the two photochromic species just by changing the solvent polarity. Moreover, we could demonstrate that the self-assembled gels do not interfere with the light-driven conversion process, either starting from SP or MC, thus representing a valid and economical photochromic material.

Abstract
The forthcoming generation of materials, including artificial muscles, recyclable and healable systems, photochromic heterogeneous catalysts, or tailorable supercapacitors, relies on the fundamental concept of rapid switching between two or more discrete forms in the solid state. Herein, we report a breakthrough in the "speed limit" of photochromic molecules on the example of sterically-demanding spiropyran derivatives through their integration within solvent-free confined space, allowing for engineering of the photoresponsive moiety environment and tailoring their photoisomerization rates. The presented conceptual approach realized through construction of the spiropyran environment results in ~1000 times switching enhancement even in the solid state compared to its behavior in solution, setting a record in the field of photochromic compounds. Moreover, integration of two distinct photochromic moieties in the same framework provided access to a dynamic range of rates as well as complementary switching in the material's optical profile, uncovering a previously inaccessible pathway for interstate rapid photoisomerization.

Abstract
Smart contact lenses have recently gained traction due to their functionalization as noninvasive diagnostic and therapeutic wearables that can address several ocular diseases. Herein, multifunctional contact lenses exhibiting UV-transition and temperature-responsive capabilities were developed utilizing chromogenic materials that were integrated simultaneously into poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) contact lenses. The functionalities of the contact lenses were optically evaluated in both their activated and non-activated states. Transition contact lenses offered excellent UV and blue light blocking capabilities (~45%) at their inactive states. When activated via UV exposure, the transparent lenses darkened instantaneously and absorbed portions of the visible light spectrum. The absorption intensity and transient discoloration of the transition lenses relied primarily on the utilized photochromic material. Likewise, the temperature-responsive contact lenses exhibited distinct colorimetric variations in response to temperature changes within the physiological range (33-38 °C). The maximum sensitivity of the thermochromic lens was 8% transmitted light per Celsius degree shift. Physiochemical and morphological analysis indicated the adequacy of the contact lenses. Hence, the multifunctional contact lenses can be deployed as smart wearables to manage ophthalmic deficiencies that are deterred by UV radiations and variations in ocular surface temperature.

Abstract
This study focuses on the molecular design and synthesis of salt spiropyrans with near-IR fluorescence. The structure of the obtained compounds was confirmed by NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy. In the course of studying the spectral and photoluminescent characteristics, it was possible to reveal the effect of some substituents in various positions on the properties of spiropyran dyes. Due to the structural similarity of one of the isomers to cyanine dyes, the obtained compounds are of interest as potential fluorescent probes for bioimagimg, in particular, for DNA studies. To reveal their ability of binding to DNA molecules molecular docking was carried out. Toxic effects of compounds demonstrating NIR fluorescence were studied on biofilms, as well as using bacterial lux-biosensors.

Abstract
Herein, novel photoresponsive spiropyran (SP)-based P(DEGMA-co-SpMA) copolymers with variable percentages of SP fractions are synthesized. The SP group present in these polymers exhibited the abilities of reversible photoisomerism. Their photoresponsive, structural, and thermal properties have been investigated and compared using various characterization techniques. These light-responsive copolymers are found to exhibit photoswitchable glass transition temperature (Tg ), high thermal stability (Td > 250°C), instant photochromism as well as fluorescence upon exposure to UV light. It is demonstrated that the Tg of these synthesized polymers increased when irradiated with UV light (λ = 365 nm), as a consequence of the photoisomerization of incorporated SP groups into their merocyanine form. This increase in Tg is attributed to an increase in polarity and a decrease in the overall entropy of the polymeric system when it switches from the ring-closed SP form (less-ordered state) to the ring-opened merocyanine form (more-ordered state). Therefore, such polymers with a unique feature of phototunable glass transition temperatures provide the possibility to be integrated into functional materials for various photoresponsive applications.

Abstract
Recently, spiropyran-based composites have gained more attention on account of their stimuli-responsive essence, especially of the fascinating and green photo stimulus. However, the great dipole moment change between the ring-opened merocyanine and ring-closed spiropyran requires a large free volume available for isomerization, which significantly restrains the photoisomerization of spiropyran-based nanocomposites. Herein, a fascinating pathway by regulating the states both of spiropyran and the immobilized nanoparticle supports was put forward to facilitate the photoisomerization. The results demonstrated that the spiropyran grafting percentage of 5.18% and immobilized supports with less aggregation, high specific surface area, large pore size, and noncrystalline structure were suitable to fabricate spiropyran-based nanocomposites, which showed a significant improvement for Pb2+ and Cr3+ removal from aqueous solution on account of free photoisomerization of spiropyran on the support's surface. This work will pave the pathway to extend the exploitation of spiropyran-based nanocomposites in various fields such as biotechnology, physiology, and electronics to photonics and environmental-friendly fields.

Abstract
Photoisomerization of chromophores usually shows significantly less efficiency in solid polymers than in solution as strong intermolecular interactions lock their conformation. Herein, we establish the impact of macromolecular architecture on the isomerization efficiency of main-chain-incorporated chromophores (i.e., α-bisimine) in both solution and the solid state. We demonstrate that branched architectures deliver the highest isomerization efficiency for the main-chain chromophore in the solid state─remarkably as high as 70% compared to solution. The macromolecular design principles established herein for efficient solid-state photoisomerization can serve as a blueprint for enhancing the solid-state isomerization efficiency for other polymer systems, such as those based on azobenzenes.

Abstract
By enabling rapid, cost-effective, user-friendly and in situ detection of carbon dioxide, colorimetric CO2 sensors are of relevance for a variety of fields. However, it still remains a challenge the development of optical chemosensors for CO2 that combine high sensitivity, selectivity and reusability with facile integration into solid materials. Herein we pursued this goal by preparing hydrogels functionalized with spiropyrans, a well-known class of molecular switches that undergo different color changes upon application of light and acid stimuli. By varying the nature of the substituents of the spiropyran core, different acidochromic responses are obtained in aqueous media that allow discriminating CO2 from other acid gases (e.g., HCl). Interestingly, this behavior can be transferred to functional solid materials by synthesizing polymerizable spiropyran derivatives, which are used to prepare hydrogels. These materials preserve the acidochromic properties of the incorporated spiropyrans, thus leading to selective, reversible and quantifiable color changes upon exposure to different CO2 amounts. In addition, CO2 desorption and, therefore, recovery of the initial state of the chemosensor is favored by irradiation with visible light. This makes spiropyran-based chromic hydrogels promising systems for the colorimetric monitorization of carbon dioxide in a diversity of applications.

Abstract
The photoluminescence of modified spiropyran on solid surfaces is poor, and the fluorescence intensity of its MC form is weak, which affects its application in the field of sensing. In this work, a PMMA layer containing Au nanoparticles and a spiropyran monomolecular layer are coated on the surface of a PDMS substrate with inverted micro-pyramids successively by means of interface assembly and soft lithography, and the overall structure is similar to insect compound eyes. The anti-reflection effect of the bioinspired structure, the SPR (surface plasmon resonance) effect of the Au nanoparticles and the anti-NRET (non-radiation energy transfer) effect of the PMMA isolation layer raise the fluorescence enhancement factor of the composite substrate vs. the surface MC form of spiropyran to 5.06. In the process of metal ion detection, the composite substrate can achieve both colorimetric and fluorescence response, and the detection limit for Zn2+ can reach 0.281 μM. However, at the same time, the lack of the ability to recognize specific metal ions is expected to be further improved by the modification of spiropyran.

Novel Indoline Spiropyrans Based on Human Hormones β-Estradiol and Estrone: Synthesis, Structure, Chromogenic and Cytotoxic Properties. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28093866. [PMID: 37175276 PMCID: PMC10179760 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28093866] [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: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The introduction of a switchable function into the structure of a bioactive compound can endow it with unique capabilities for regulating biological activity under the influence of various types of external stimuli, which makes such hybrid compounds promising objects for photopharmacology, targeted drug delivery and bio-imaging. This work is devoted to the synthesis and study of new spirocyclic derivatives of important human hormones-β-estradiol and estrone-possessing a wide range of biological activities. The obtained hybrid compounds represent an indoline spiropyrans family, a widely known class of organic photochromic compounds. The structure of the compounds was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR, IR, HRMS and single-crystal X-ray analysis. The intermolecular interactions in the crystals of spiropyran (3) were defined by Hirshfeld surfaces and 2D fingerprint plots, which were successfully acquired from CrystalExplorer (v21.5). All target hybrids demonstrated pronounced activity in the visible region of the spectrum. The mechanisms of thermal isomerization processes of spiropyrans and their protonated merocyanine forms were studied by DFT methods, which revealed the energetic advantage of the protonation process with the formation of a β-cisoid CCCH conformer at the first stage and its further isomerization to more stable β-transoid forms. The proposed mechanism of acidochromic transformation was confirmed by the additional NMR study data that allowed for the detecting of the intermediate CCCH isomer. The study of the short-term cytotoxicity of new spirocyclic derivatives of estrogens and their 2-formyl-precursors was performed on the HeLa cell model. The precursors and spiropyrans differed in toxicity, suggesting their variable applicability in novel anti-cancer technologies.

Abstract
Reversibly light and pH dual-responsive spiropyran-based cellulose nanocrystals (SP-CNCs) is synthesized by the attachment of carboxyl-containing spiropyran (SP-COOH) onto cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The resulting structure and properties of SP-CNCs are examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), elemental analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic laser light scattering (DSL), ζ-potential measurements and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) light absorption spectroscopy. SP-CNCs exhibit excellent photochromic and photoswitching properties. Spiropyran moieties on SP-CNCs can be switched between open-ring merocyanine (MC) and closed ring spiropyran (SP) forms under UV/Vis irradiation, leading to color changes. Moreover, SP-CNCs display improved photoresponsiveness, photoreversibility, fatigue resistance, and stability in DMSO than in H2O. We further investigate the pH-responsive behavior of SP-CNCs in H2O. SP-CNCs aqueous solution display different colors at different pH values, which can be directly observed by naked eye, indicating that SP-CNCs can function as a visual pH sensor. These results suggest that light and pH dual-responsive SP-CNCs possess great potential for applications in reversible data storage, sensing, optical switching and light-controlled nanomaterials.

Abstract
Increasing the security of anticounterfeiting materials has been the most important challenge in recent years, and the development of dual-color photoluminescent inks with multi-level security, static/dynamic emission, and dynamic color change is an important solution to overcome this problem. In this study, the multi-functionalized copolymer nanoparticles containing different functional groups (with a concentration of 20 wt %), including ester, carboxylic acid, hydroxyl, epoxide, amide, and amine groups were synthesized successfully by the emulsion polymerization method. The results showed that the particle size and morphology of nanoparticles are affected by the polarity of functional groups. The prepared multi-functionalized copolymer nanoparticles were modified physically with spiropyran (photochromic and red fluorescence emission) and coumarin (cyan emission) derivatives to develop dual-color photoluminescent polymer nanoparticles with application in static-dynamic photoluminescent anticounterfeiting inks, which have multi-level security. The investigation of optical properties indicates that the kinetics of photochromism and photoluminescence properties of samples containing spiropyran is dependent on the local polarity on the surface of polymer nanoparticles. Hence, an increase in the polarity (functionalization with amide, carboxylic acid, and hydroxyl groups) has resulted in fast photochromism, high-intensity photoluminescence emission and increased the efficiency of the photoswitchable color change of emission from cyan to pink. Dual-color photoluminescent anticounterfeiting inks were prepared by mixing polymer nanoparticles containing spiropyran with polymer nanoparticles containing coumarin, in different ratios (1:1, 1:3, 1:5, 1:8, and 1:10). Obtained results showed that prepared samples have cyan emission under UV light of 254 nm (static mode), and a dynamic photoswitching of fluorescence emission from cyan to pink (as a function of irradiation time) was also observed under UV-light irradiation of 365 nm, which is well known as a dynamic mode of emission. The responsivity and intensity of dynamic photoluminescence emission are dependent on the local polarity of the surface functional groups, in which the samples based on amide functionalized copolymer nanoparticles displayed high-intensity emission in the static mode and high-intensity photoswitchable dual-color emission in the dynamic mode, in the case of all ratios of colloid solution mixtures. Printing security tags on cellulose paper by dual-color photoluminescent inks indicates advantages such as maximum printability, resolution, brightness, and static-dynamic photoluminescence emission with high intensity for inks based on amide functionalized nanoparticles. The static-dynamic dual-color photoluminescent anticounterfeiting ink with unique properties and multi-level security was reported for the first time by the collaboration of spiropyran and coumarin. This study can open a new approach and window to the future of advanced and high-security anticounterfeiting technologies.

Abstract
Spiropyrans modified with reactive polyfunctional substituents are of great interest as building blocks for the creation of various smart systems with controllable properties for materials science and biomedicine. In this study, a new highly modified spiropyran of the indoline series, methyl 5′-chloro-8-formyl-5-hydroxy-1′,3′,3′-trimethyl-spiro[chromene-2,2′-indoline]-6-carboxylate, was obtained via the cyclocondensation reaction from 5-chloro-1,2,3,3-tetramethyl-3H-indolium perchlorate and methyl 3,5-diformyl-2,4-dihydroxy-benzoate. The molecular structure of the target compound was confirmed by 1H, 13C NMR, and IR spectroscopy, as well as LC/MS and elemental analysis. Photochemical studies revealed photochromic activity for the obtained spiropyran at room temperature. The photoinduced merocyanine form demonstrated an enhanced lifetime and fluorescent properties in the red region of the spectrum.

Abstract
Photoswitchable fluorescent materials are desirable for many applications because their emission signals can be easily modulated on demand. In this study, novel photoswitchable multistate fluorescent supramolecular polymers (PMFSPs) were prepared via host-guest interactions under a facile ultrasonication strategy. In the system, photochromic fluorescent diarylethylene monomer (SDTE, donor) and adamantane-containing monomer (BAC) were covalently combined into the backbone of the guest polymer (P1) via radical copolymerization. Meanwhile, the host moiety (CDSP, acceptor) was synthesized by covalent incorporation of photochromic spiropyran dye (SPCOOH) with β-cyclodextrin. By adjusting the stimulation wavelength and utilizing photoinduced fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), the supramolecular polymers can undergo reversible tristate fluorescence switching among none, red, and green. In addition, due to the high contrast, rapid photoresponsiveness and prominent photoreversibility of the prepared PMFSPs, we demonstrated that they have great potential in advanced anti-counterfeiting and multilevel information encryption.

Abstract
Over the last couple of decades, stimuli-responsive supramolecular gels comprising synthetic short peptides as building blocks have been explored for various biological and material applications. Though a wide range of stimuli has been tested depending on the structure of the peptides, light as a stimulus has attracted extensive attention due to its non-invasive, non-contaminant, and remotely controllable nature, precise spatial and temporal resolution, and wavelength tunability. The integration of molecular photo-switch and low-molecular-weight synthetic peptides may thus provide access to supramolecular self-assembled systems, notably supramolecular gels, which may be used to create dynamic, light-responsive “smart” materials with a variety of structures and functions. This short review summarizes the recent advancement in the area of light-sensitive peptide gelation. At first, a glimpse of commonly used molecular photo-switches is given, followed by a detailed description of their incorporation into peptide sequences to design light-responsive peptide gels and the mechanism of their action. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives for developing next-generation photo-responsive gels and materials are outlined.

Abstract
Photoswitchable nanofibers and nanocomposite fibers containing plasmonic nanoparticles have attracted a great deal of interest in optical and plasmonic devices. Herein, photoswitchable poly(methyl methacrylate-co-vinylimidazole-co-spiropyran ethyl acrylate) (MVSP) and its copolymer with butyl acrylate (MBVSP) were prepared via emulsion polymerization, and the corresponding nanofibers (MVSP@NF and MBVSP@NF) and nanocomposite fibers (MVSP/Au@NF and MBVSP/Au@NF) containing AuNRs were fabricated through electrospinning. FTIR and 1H NMR analyses confirmed the progress of the copolymerization reaction. The morphology of the prepared nanofibers containing AuNRs with an aspect ratio of 2.5 was identified by SEM and TEM techniques. The inclusion of vinylimidazole into the copolymer chains resulted in well-dispersed AuNRs. Photoisomerization studies revealed a higher photochromic efficiency for MBVSP@F (reflective intensity of 37.4%) with respect to MVSP@NF (reflective intensity of 62.5%) because of the greater flexibility of the chains. In addition, the presence of AuNRs in the nanocomposite fibers with high absorptivity intensified the photochromic properties for both samples. The polarization-dependent plasmonic band of AuNRs was switched between 650 and 634 nm through the photoisomerization of nonpolar SP to polar MC reversibly for MVSP/Au@NF. This displacement was just 4 nm for MBVSP/Au@NF, owing to the limited coupling between AuNRs and MC isomers. Besides, the capability of both nanocomposite fibers for reversible optical patterning was investigated by fast write-erase cycles. Enhanced photofatigue resistance in those fibers and the photomodulation of the plasmonic band of AuNRs using SP to MC isomerization revealed their promising potential for optical patterning and on-demand real-time plasmonic devices.
