Abstract
Molecular systems and devices whose properties can be modulated using light as an external stimulus are the subject of numerous research studies in the fields of materials and life sciences. In this context, the use of photochromic compounds that reversibly switch upon light irradiation is particularly attractive. However, for many envisioned applications, and in particular for biological purposes, illumination with harmful UV light must be avoided and these photoactivable systems must operate in aqueous media. In this context, we have designed a benzo[e]-fused dimethyldihydropyrene compound bearing a methyl-pyridinium electroacceptor group that meets these requirements. This compound (closed state) is able to reversibly isomerize under aerobic conditions into its corresponding cyclophanediene form (open isomer) through the opening of its central carbon-carbon bond. Both the photo-opening and the reverse photoclosing processes are triggered by visible light illumination and proceed with high quantum yields (respectively 14.5% yield at λ = 680 nm and quantitative quantum yield at λ = 470 nm, in water). This system has been investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance and absorption spectroscopy, and the efficient photoswitching behavior was rationalized by spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory calculations. In addition, it is demonstrated that the isomerization from the open to the closed form can be electrocatalytically triggered.

Abstract
The poor excited-state properties of bis-terpyridine Ru(II) complexes have significantly limited the applications of these complexes as sensitizers in photocatalysis and triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion. In the present work, two novel ruthenium bis-terpyridine complexes (Ru-1 and Ru-2) conjugated with visible-light-harvesting bodipy chromophores were synthesized. These complexes showed strong absorption of visible light, the bodipy-localized intraligand triplet state (3IL) was efficiently populated, and the phosphorescence of bodipy at room temperature in both complexes was observed. The luminescence lifetimes of these complexes were significantly prolonged, with that of the heteroleptic complex Ru-2 prolonged to 37.9 μs and that of the homoleptic bis-terpyridine complex Ru-1 unprecedentedly prolonged to 356 μs, which was hundreds of times longer than the current longest emissive state achieved in ruthenium terpyridine complexes. The ultra-long triplet lifetimes and strong visible-light absorbing ability made them new candidates of triplet sensitizers, and were first applied to TTA-UC for terpyridine Ru(II) complexes with a Ru-1/Py system showing a ΦUC of 2.93% in dilute solutions at concentrations as low as 1.0 μM.

Abstract
Photo-induced modulation of electronic conductance has been achieved by employing an AgI-based two-dimensional coordination polymer (CP) having pyridine-functionalized photochromic dimethyldihydropyrene-cyclophanediene (DHP-CPD) π-switch. Both the coordination polymer and the organic photochromic core were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The coordination polymer displayed an excellent conductance in the ON state of the switch in the closed form of DHP. Upon exposure to visible light, the π-switch in the CPD form loses its planarity, turning the switch OFF, which is reflected in the drastic reduction of the conductance. Exposure to UV light turns the switch back ON wherein the high electronic conductance of the polymer can be restored.

Abstract
Photochromic dimethyldihydropyrenes substituted with electron-withdrawing pyridinium groups have shown an increase of photo-induced ring-opening efficiency and a light sensitivity that is red shifted relative to the unsubstituted compound. However, a recently synthesized tetrapyridinium derivative showed a considerable decrease of the photo-isomerization quantum yield relative to the monopyridinium and bispyridinium derivatives. We provide a rationale for this unexpected photochemical behavior based on the comparative theoretical investigations of the relevant excited states of these systems. In particular, we found that the nature and order of the lowest two excited states depend on the number of pyridinium groups and on the symmetry of the system. While the lowest S1 excited state is photo-active in the monopyridinium and bispyridinium derivatives, the photo-isomerizing state is S2 in the reference unsubstituted compound and both S1 and S2 lead to isomerization in the tetrapyridinium derivative, albeit with a low efficiency. In the latter derivative, the photo-isomerization is hindered by the particular S1 /S2 conical intersection topology.

Abstract
Two photoswitchable compounds that can operate under visible light irradiation are prepared and investigated using spectroscopic and computational studies. These all-visible systems are based on the dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP)/cyclophanediene (CPD) photochromic couple connected either to a bipyridine (bpy) unit or to a (tris(bpy)ruthenium(II)) complex through a pyridinium bridge. In these compounds, the DHP to CPD isomerization and the reverse CPD to DHP conversion can be triggered by illumination with red (>630 nm) and blue (460 nm) lights, respectively. The unambiguous and reversible response of these systems triggered by visible light make them potential candidates for biological purposes and electronic devices.

Abstract
Dihydropyrene (DHP)/cyclophanediene (CPD) is a fascinating photoswitchable organic system displaying negative photochromism. Upon irradiation in the visible region, the colored DHP can be converted to its open-ring CPD colorless isomer, which can be converted back to DHP by UV light. DHP and CPD thus possess very different absorption spectra whose absorption bands have never been assigned in detail so far. In this work, we characterize the vertical electronic transitions of the first six and seven excited states of DHP and CPD, respectively, aiming for a realistic comparison with experiment. We used state-of-the-art electronic structure methods [e.g., complete active space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2), n-electron valence-state perturbation theory (NEVPT2), extended multiconfigurational quasi-degenerate perturbation theory (XMCQDPT2), and third-order algebraic diagrammatic construction ADC(3)] capable of describing differential electron correlation. Vertical transition energies were also computed with time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and compared to these accurate methods. After the reliability of TD-DFT was validated for the main optical transitions, this efficient method was used to simulate the absorption spectra of DHP and CPD in the framework of the Franck-Condon Herzberg-Teller approximation and also using the nuclear ensemble approach. Overall, for both methods, the simulated absorption spectra reproduce nicely the main spectral features of the DHP and CPD isomers, that is, the main four absorption bands of increasing intensity of DHP and the absorption rise below 300 nm for CPD.
