Abstract
Spiropyran (SP) and its derivatives are highly attractive owing to their distinctive merits in high contrast and fast response read-out systems. However, the realization of photoswitching properties of SP is hindered in the aggregate state, particularly in crystals owing to the dense packing of molecules leading to insufficient study of the relationship between the molecular structure/stacking mode and photoswitching behavior. Herein, we report three SP derivatives: different flexible chains (carboxyl group for SP-0 and ester group for SP-1) are attached to the indoline moiety, while the ester group is attached to the chromene moiety for SP-2. SP-1 exhibits fluorescent photoswitching properties in crystals due to the weak intermolecular interactions resulting in enough free space for the photoisomerization. The presence of hydrogen bonds in SP-0 enhances the molecular interactions to restrict the photoisomerization, and the ester group of SP-2 impacts the thermodynamic properties, thereby limiting the realization of photoswitching of SP-2.

Abstract
A promising area in the analytical chemistry of thiol-containing compounds is the use of heterocyclic disulfides as analytical agents, but now only a few of them are widely used. In this paper, we evaluate the possibility of using three different heterocyclic disulfides 2,2'-dithiobis[5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole] (I), 2,2'-dithiobis[benzoxazole] (II) and 8,8'-dithiobis-quinoline (III) as analytical reagents for the low-mass aminothiols cysteine and glutathione determination. The optimal analysis conditions were found. Spectrophotometric, kinetic, CE, and HPLC methods using I, II, III for the determination of cysteine and glutathione were developed. The obtained methods are characterized by accuracy and sensitivity (detection limits in the range of 10-5-10-6 M) sufficient to quantify cysteine and glutathione in their physiological concentrations. Finally, the proposed disulfides were used to determine the SH-content in the bovine serum albumin (BSA). Considering a number of criteria (applicable pH range, absorption properties, susceptibility to hydrolysis) it was concluded that the proposed reagents have advantages over the commonly used ones (such as the Ellman reagent).

Abstract
Photodeformable materials are a class of molecules that can convert photon energy into mechanical energy, which have attracted tremendous attention in the last few decades. Owing to their unique photoinduced deformable properties, including fast light-response and diverse mechanical behaviors, photodeformable materials have exhibited great potential in many practical applications such as actuators, photoswitches, artificial muscles, and bioimaging. In this review, we sort out the current state of photodeformable crystals and classify them into six categories by molecular structures: diarylethenes, azobenzenes, anthracenes, olefins, triarylethylenes, and other systems. Three distinct light-responsive mechanisms, photocyclization, trans-cis isomerization, and photodimerization, are revealed to play significant roles in the molecular photodeformation. Their corresponding photodeformable behaviors such as twisting, bending, hopping, bursting, and curling, as well as the potential applications, are also discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and prospective development directions of photodeformable crystals are highlighted.

Abstract
For photochromic molecules, effective isomerization usually requires conformational freedom, which is usually unavailable under solvent-free conditions. In this work, we report a new method, which can realize the reversible switching of spiropyran molecules by introducing a rigid aromatic ring group and this method can provide the required free volume to transform from a closed-ring to an open-ring form. This new molecule can quickly change color in the solid state under ultraviolet light, and can be erased after being heated at 60 °C for about 5 minutes. Furthermore, this new compound presents mechanochromicity when a mechanical force is applied. What is more, it can be used for at least 30 cycles of print-erase operations without apparent fatigue. This new molecule exhibits improved photochromic and anti-fatigue properties in the solid state, which can promote its application in both ultraviolet printing and anti-counterfeiting materials.

Abstract
As one of the important photochromic molecules, spiropyran (SP) compounds are widely used as detectors and fluorescence probes in the environment and bio-imaging field. Although great achievements have been attained for various sophisticated spiropyrans in metal ion sensing, less success is achieved in sensing organic molecules due to the weak interaction between the spiropyran and the target of the organic molecule. In this study, a spiropyran derivative containing a hydroxyl group (SPOH) was employed for the recognition of four kinds of amines via ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectra. The aliphatic primary amines, aromatic primary amines, aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines, aromatic secondary and tertiary amines were successfully distinguished according to the shapes and trends of their UV-Vis absorption spectra. The chemical reaction between aliphatic, aromatic primary amines and SPOH as well as alkalinity are two vital interaction mechanisms for the recognition process which are testified by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Although SP is generally water-insoluble, it is easy to achieve soluble by fixing SPOH inside micelle or vesicle and thus the results in this study is meaningful for amine recognition utility in environments and biological systems.

Abstract
Biothiols such as l-cysteine, l-homocysteine, and glutathione play essential roles in many biological processes, and are directly associated with several health conditions. Therefore, the development of fast, selective, sensitive, and inexpensive methods for quantitatively analyzing biothiols in aqueous solution, but especially in biological samples, is a very attractive research field. In this feature review, we have approached the relevance of biothiols' nucleophilicity to develop selective fluorogenic probes. Since biothiols have considerable structural similarity, relevant strategies are in full development, including several fluorescent molecular platforms, specific receptor sites, reaction conditions, and optical responses. All of these features are properly presented and discussed. Biothiol sensing protocols are based on traditional organic chemistry reactions such as (hetero)aromatic nucleophilic substitution, addition, and substitution at carbonyl carbon, conjugate addition, and nucleophilic substitution at saturated carbon, amongst others including combined processes; furthermore, mechanistic aspects are detailed herein, including some interesting historical contexts. The feasibility of related fluorogenic probes is illustrated by analysis in complex matrices such as serum, cells, tissues, and animal models. Applications of these reactions in more complex systems such as sulfhydryl-based peptides and proteins are also presented, aiming at functionalizing and detecting these nucleophiles. Most literature cited in this review is recent; however, some other prominent works are also detailed. It is believed that this review may be accessible for many academic levels and may efficiently contribute not only to popularizing science but also to the rational development of fluorogenic probes for biothiol sensing.

Abstract
Light is a particularly appealing tool for on-demand drug delivery due to its noninvasive nature, ease of application and exquisite temporal and spatial control. Great progress has been achieved in the development of novel light-driven drug delivery strategies with both breadth and depth. Light-controlled drug delivery platforms can be generally categorized into three groups: photochemical, photothermal, and photoisomerization-mediated therapies. Various advanced materials, such as metal nanoparticles, metal sulfides and oxides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanomaterials, upconversion nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, stimuli-responsive micelles, polymer- and liposome-based nanoparticles have been applied for light-stimulated drug delivery. In view of the increasing interest in on-demand targeted drug delivery, we review the development of light-responsive systems with a focus on recent advances, key limitations, and future directions.

Abstract
To overcome the organic-/bio- fouling of the membrane, a dual-functional ultrafiltration membrane containing quaternary ammonium and zwitterionic polymers via quaternization and surface radical polymerization was designed, and its antifouling and antibacterial behavior was studied. In this work, poly(vinylidene fluoride)/poly(methyl methacrylate-co-dimethylamino-2-ethyl methacrylate) (PVDF/P(MMA-co-DMAEMA)) blend membrane was quaternized by p-chloromethyl styrene (p-CMS), and the double bonds were introduced onto the membrane surface, which further participated in the polymerization of zwitterionic monomers on the membrane surface. The results indicated that the resultant membrane exhibited obviously improved hydrophilicity and weak positive charge (isoelectric point, 7.49). The membrane presented higher flux recovery ratio and lower protein adhesion compared with the pure PVDF membrane. Meanwhile, the membrane showed high-efficiency broad-spectrum antibacterial performance, that is, the bacteria killing efficiency of S. aureus and E. coli reached 98.2% and 97.0%, respectively. Moreover, the membrane effectively inhibited bacterial adhesion, which is important for the long-term antibacterial properties of membrane. This antifouling and antibacterial PVDF membrane may have potential in the long-term filtration process, especially when dealing with microbiologically contaminated water.

Abstract
Control over the stimuli-responsive behavior of smart molecular systems can influence their capability to execute complex functionalities. Herein, we report the development of a suite of spiropyran-based multi-stimuli-responsive self-assembled platinum(II) macrocycles (5-7), rendering coordination-assisted enhanced photochromism relative to the corresponding ligands. 5 showed shrinking and swelling during photoreversal, while 6 and 7 are fast and fatigue-free supramolecular photoswitches. 6 turns out to be a better fatigue-resistant photoswitch and can retain an intact photoswitching ability of up to 20 reversible cycles. The switching behavior of the macrocycles can also be precisely controlled by tuning the pH of the medium. Our present strategy for the construction of rapid stimuli-responsive supramolecular architectures via coordination-driven self-assembly represents an efficient route for the development of smart molecular switches.

Abstract
The development of stimuli-responsive small molecules for probing biologically active antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH) has important ramifications in the detection of oxidative stress. An ideal sensor for biological applications should exhibit sufficient sensitivity and selectivity for detection at physiological concentrations and be reversible to allow continuous and dynamic monitoring of antioxidant levels. Designing a suitable sensor thus requires a detailed understanding of activation properties and mechanism of action. In this work, we report a new set of GSH-responsive spiropyrans and demonstrate how changes in the electronic structure of spiropyrans influence GSH sensing with high specificity versus other structurally similar and biologically relevant redox-active molecules. The sensitivity, selectivity, kinetics, binding constant, and reversibility of GSH-responsive-substituted spiropyrans were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy and laser irradiation experiments. Detailed studies of the mechanism of interaction between spiropyrans with GSH were investigated using NMR spectroscopy. Understanding how electronic effects impact the sensing ability of spiropyrans toward antioxidants and elucidating the mechanism of the spiropyran-GSH interaction will facilitate the design of more effective sensors for detection of antioxidants in vivo.

Abstract
To inform the design of future merocyanine-based sensors for nucleophilic analytes, a range of model styrylindolium salts were synthesised, and their behaviour towards cyanide, methanethiolate and sulfide was examined using spectroscopic techniques. In the majority of cases, standard 1,2- and 1,4-nucleophilic additions predominated; however, 4-nitrostyrylindolium salts underwent an unexpected dearomatising 1,8-addition with sulfur-centred nucleophiles. The enamine triene products thus produced display useful optical properties and provide a platform for novel sensor design, and the unusual 1,8-reaction pathway enables synthesis of novel molecular architecture.

Abstract
Solid-state organic photoswitches with reversible luminescence modulation property are highly attractive because of their wide prospects in advanced photonic applications, such as optical data storage, anticounterfeiting and bioimaging. Yet, developing such materials has long been a significant challenge. In this work, we construct an efficient solid-state photoswitch based on a spiropyran-functionalized distyrylanthracene derivative (DSA-2SP) that exhibits exceptional reversible absorption/luminescence modulation ability. Efficient photoswitching between DSA-2SP and its photoisomer DSA-2MC are facilitated by large free volumes induced by nonplanar molecular structures of DSA moieties, as well as the intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the DSA and MC moieties. Consequently, the excellent solid-state photochromic property of DSA-2SP is highly applicable as both anticounterfeiting inks and super-resolution imaging agents.

Abstract
In the past decades, numerous electrochemical sensors based on exogenous electroactive substance have been reported. Due to non-specific interaction between the redox mediator and the target, the instability caused by false signal may not be avoided. To address this issue, in this paper, a new electrochemical sensor based on spiropyran skeleton, namely SPOSi, was designed for specific electrochemical response to fluoride ions (F(-)). The breakage of Si-O induced by F(-) based on the specific nucleophilic substitution reaction between F(-) and silica would directly produce a hydroquinone structure for electrochemical signal generation. To improve the sensitivity, SPOSi probe was assembled on the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) through the π-π conjugating interaction. This electrode was successfully applied to monitor F(-) with a detection limit of 8.3 × 10(-8) M. Compared with the conventional F(-) ion selected electrode (ISE) which utilized noncovalent interaction, this method displays higher stability and a comparable sensitivity in the urine samples.

Abstract
In this work we synthesize molecular switches that are responsive to cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione; three redox systems that make up the majority of the body's antioxidant defenses. Synthesized spiropyran isomers with conjugation-ready linkages showed good selectivity of response to these major antioxidant thiols over nucleophilic amino acids; however the position of the linking group can affect selectivity and reversibility of the switching response. An isomer with selectivity for cysteine against GSH and Hcy was identified.

Abstract
Simple thiol derivatives, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play key roles in biological processes, and the fluorescent probes to detect such thiols in vivo selectively with high sensitivity and fast response times are critical for understanding their numerous functions. However, the similar structures and reactivities of these thiols pose considerable challenges to the development of such probes. This review focuses on various strategies for the design of fluorescent probes for the selective detection of biothiols. We classify the fluorescent probes for discrimination among biothiols according to reaction types between the probes and thiols such as cyclization with aldehydes, conjugate addition-cyclization with acrylates, native chemical ligation, and aromatic substitution-rearrangement.

Abstract
In traditional electrochemical sensors, the electrochemical signal transduction of the redox-active material is usually controlled by the analytical target. Due to non-specific interaction between the redox mediator and the target, false signal by single stimulus may not be avoided. To address this issue, we have developed a new electrochemical sensor that uses a functional spiropyran, an important class of photo and thermochromic compounds, as both recognition receptor and latent redox mediator, to realize simultaneous photochemical and target-modulated electron transfer. As a proof of principle, β-galactosidase was chosen as a model target. The new synthesized spiropyran probe, SP-β-gal, undergoes reversibly structural isomerization to form merocyanine under UV light irradiation. After the glycosidic bond being cleaved by β-galactosidase, the opened merocyanine of SP-β-gal forms redox-active 2-(2.5-dihydroxystyryl)-1.3.3-trimethyl-3H-indolium, and thus produces a pair of reversible redox current peaks under the electrochemical scanning. To amplify the detection signal, SP-β-gal was self-assembled with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on the surface of glass carbon electrode. Kinetics experiments confirm that the probe is an ideal candidate for the determination of different concentrations of β-galactosidase digestion kinetics. Further, the SP-β-gal/SWCNTs-modified electrode is chemically stable in complex biological fluids. It was successfully applied to monitor β-galactosidase activity in the 10% calf thymus. This work represents not only a significant step forward in the further development of low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials/small organic molecular probes-based electrochemical biosensors, but also a new platform which may be extended to the assay of other enzyme such as β-D-glycosidase and so on by translating the biorecognition into electrochemical signal responses.

Abstract
A new spectrophotometric method for the determination of neomycin has been developed. The method is based on aggregation of label-free gold nanoparticles leading to change in absorption spectra and color of the solution. Influence of different factors (the concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), pH, the concentrations of neomycin and the nanoparticles) on the aggregation and analytical performance of the method was investigated. EDTA plays an important role not only as a masking agent to eliminate interferences of metal cations but strongly affects the sensitivity of the nanoparticles relative to neomycin. The method allows to determine neomycin with detection limit of 28ngmL(-1). It was applied to analysis of eye- and ear-drops. The sample pretreatment is simply done by diluting the formulation with water.
