Abstract
Dibenzotriazonine represent a new class of nine-membered cyclic azobenzenes with a nitrogen atom embedded in the bridging chain. To enable future applications of this photoactive backbone, we propose in this study the synthesis of mono- and dihalogenated triazonines, that allow the late-stage introduction of different functionalized aryl groups and heteroatoms (N, O, and P) via palladium-catalyzed reactions. Indeed, different diphenylphosphoryl-triazonines were synthesized with functional groups such as aniline or phenol. Bis(diphenylphosphoryl)phenyl mono- and bis-carbamate-triazonines were also isolated in good yields.

Abstract
The isomerization of azobenzo-13-crown ether can be expected to be hindered due to the polyoxyethylene linkage connecting the 2,2'-positions of azobenzene. The mixed reference spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory results reveal that the planar and rotational minima of the first photo-excited singlet state (S1) of the trans-isomer pass through a barrier (2.5-5.0 kcal/mol) as it goes toward the torsional conical intersection (S0/S1) geometry (

Abstract
Two photochromic Cd(II)-CPs were obtained based on the viologen ligand using different synthetic routes, named {[Cd4(p-BDC)4(CPB)2(H2O)2]·2H2O·EtOH}n (1) and {[Cd(p-BDC)(CPB)(H2O)]·(L)·DMF}n (2) (p-H2BDC = 1,4-benzene-dicarboxylate, HCPB·Cl = 1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium·Cl, L = 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene, and DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), respectively. Due to different coordination modes, the two Cd(II)-CPs show different structures. Compound 1 exhibits a three-dimensional (3D) framework with bimetallic nodes, while compound 2 displays a 2-fold interpenetrated (4,4) net topology. Notably, the two Cd(II)-CPs exhibit substantial disparities in photo/thermochromism, which can be attributed to variations in donor-acceptor (D-A) distances arising from structural differences. Compound 1 showed visually sensitive photo- and thermochromic behavior due to multi-pathway electron transfer and short D-A distances, which is relatively rare in electron-transfer type photochromic systems. In contrast, 2 only demonstrates insensitive photochromic behavior, with a slight deepening of the color observed after 2 hours of UV light, which is due to the mono-pathway electron transfer and long D-A distance. Moreover, we first combined Cd(II)-viologen CPs with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to prepare a 1@PDMS flexible UV imaging film. 1@PDMS exhibits excellent bendability and stretchability and maintains good photochromic properties after 100 bending cycles. To demonstrate the rapid color response and distinct color contrast of 1, its application in anti-counterfeiting is also demonstrated.

Abstract
Aromatic units tethered with an azo (-N=N-) functionality comprise a unique class of compounds, known as molecular photoswitches, exhibiting a reversible transformation between their E- and Z-isomers in response to photo-irradiation. Photoswitches have been explored extensively in the recent past to prepare dynamic self-assembled materials, optoelectronic devices, responsive biomaterials, and more. Most of such materials involve azobenzenes as the molecular photoswitch and to date, SciFinder lists more than 7000 articles and 1000 patents. Subsequently, a great deal of effort has been invested to improve the photo-isomerization efficiency and related mesoscopic properties of azobenzenes. Recently, azoheteroarenes and cyclic azobenzenes, such as arylazopyrazoles, arylazoisoxazoles, arylazopyridines, and diazocines, have emerged as second generation molecular photoswitches beyond conventional azobenzenes. These photoswitches offer distinct photoswitching behavior and responsive properties which make them highly promising candidates for multifaceted applications ranging from photoresponsive materials to photopharmacophores. In this minireview, we introduce the structural refinement and photoresponsive properties of azoheteroarenes and diazocines and summarize the state-of-the-art on utilizing these photoswitches as responsive building blocks in supramolecular assembly, material science and photopharmacology, highlighting their versatile photochemical behavior, enhanced functionality, and latest applications.

Abstract
Computational studies on trans → cis and cis → trans isomerizations of photoresponsive azobis(benzo-15-crown-5) have been reported in this work. The photoexcited ππ* state (S2) of the trans isomer relaxes through the planar S2 minimum and the planar S2/S1 conical intersection (both situated around 9 kcal/mol below the vertically excited S2 state) arising along the N═N stretching coordinate. The nπ* state (S1) of this isomer has both planar and rotated (clockwise and anticlockwise) minima, which may lead to a torsional conical intersection (S0/S1) geometry having a

Abstract
Diazocines are bridged azobenzenes with phenyl rings connected by a CH2-CH2 group. Despite this rather small structural difference, diazocine exhibits improved properties over azobenzene as a photoswitch and most importantly, its Z configuration is more stable than the E isomer. Herein, we reveal yet another unique feature of this emerging class of photoswitches. In striking contrast to azobenzenes and other photochromes, diazocine can be selectively switched in E → Z direction and most intriguingly from its thermodynamically stable Z to metastable E isomer upon successive excitation of two different triplet sensitizers present in solution at the same time. This approach leads to extraordinary large redshift of excitation wavelengths to perform isomerization i.e. from 400 nm blue to 530 nm green light (Z → E) and from 530 nm green to 740 nm far-red one (E → Z), which falls in the near-infrared window in biological tissue. Therefore, this work opens up of potential avenues for utilizing diazocines for example in photopharmacology, smart materials, light energy harvesting/storage devices, and out-of-equilibrium systems.

Abstract
Luminescent Zn(II) complexes that respond to external stimuli are of wide interest due to their potential applications. Schiff base with O,N,O-hydrazone shows excellent luminescence properties with multi-coordination sites for different coordination modes. In this work, three salicylaldehyde hydrazone Zn(II) complexes (1, 2a, 2b) were synthesized and their stimuli-responsive behaviors in different states were explored. Only complex 1 exhibits reversible and self-recoverable photochromic and photoluminescence properties in solution. This may be due to the configuration eversion and the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. In the solid state, 2a has obvious mechanochromic luminescence property, which is caused by the destruction of intermolecular interactions and the transformation from crystalline state to amorphous state. 2a and 2b have delayed fluorescence properties due to effective halogen bond interactions in structures. 2a could undergo crystal-phase transformation into its polymorphous 2b by force/vapor stimulation. Interestingly, 2b shows photochromic property, which can be attributed to the electron transfer and generation of radicals induced by UV irradiation. Due to different conformations and coordination modes, the three Zn(II) complexes show different stimuli-responsive properties. This work presents the multi-stimuli-responsive behaviors of salicylaldehyde hydrazone Zn(II) complexes in different states and discusses the response mechanism in detail, which may provide new insights into the design of multi-stimuli-responsive materials.

Abstract
As intelligent probes, dynamic and controllable molecular switches are useful tools for probing and intervening in life processes. However, the types and properties of molecular switches are still relatively single and often can only make two actions: "off" and "on". Therefore, the development of novel molecular switches with multiple colors and multiple instructions is very challenging. Herein, we propose a novel strategy based on the instability of the Lewis acid-base pair (boron (B) and nitrogen (N)), such as introducing the Schiff base (C═N) group into the aminoborane skeleton and preparing the novel molecular switches BN-HDZ and BN-HDZ-N. These two molecules were found to have good multicolor fluorescence switching capability for methanol. Surprisingly, the compound BN-HDZ-N shows unprecedented visual identification for the butanol isomers and could be made into a portable strip for simple and rapid visual identification of the four isomers of butanol, promising an alternative to conventional Lucas reagents. This provides a novel strategy for the design and fabrication of novel multicolor-tunable molecular switches with visual identification of isomers.

Abstract
Azobenzene macrocycles (AzMs) represent a class of azobenzene that are typically photoswitchable with good switching yields of E and Z isomers at certain photostationary states. Here, the synthesis and versatile functionalization of 12-membered AzMs is presented to obtain various meta- and para-aryl-substituted AzMs in high yields of 71-98%. At different positions in the periphery, these substituents significantly impact on the thermal half-lives of the less-stable Z isomers. Para-substitution leads to faster thermal relaxation than meta-substitution, and electron-donating groups lead to a faster relaxation than electron-withdrawing groups.

Abstract
A novel molecular design for showing near-infrared (NIR) emission is still required for satisfying growing demands for NIR-light technology. In this research, hypervalent compounds with germanium (Ge)-fused azobenzene (GAz) scaffolds were discovered that can exhibit NIR emission (λPL =690∼721 nm, ΦPL =0.03∼0.04) despite compact π-conjugated systems. The unique optical properties are derived from the trigonal bipyramidal geometry of the hypervalent compounds constructed by combination of Ge and azobenzene-based tridentate ligands. Experimental and theoretical calculation results disclosed that the germanium-nitrogen (Ge-N) coordination at the equatorial position strongly reduces the energy level of the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), and the three-center four-electron (3 c-4 e) bond in the apical position effectively rises the energy level of the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital). It is emphasized that large narrowing of the HOMO-LUMO energy gap is achieved just by forming the hypervalent bond. In addition, the narrow-energy-gap property can be enhanced by extension of π-conjugation. The obtained π-conjugated polymer shows efficient NIR emission both in solution (λPL =770 nm and ΦPL =0.10) and film (λPL =807 nm and ΦPL =0.04). These results suggest that collaboration of a hypervalent bond and a π-conjugated system is a novel and effective strategy for tuning electronic properties even in the NIR region.

Abstract
In this work, a series of novel multistimulus-responsive lanthanide coordination polymers {[LnL(H2O)4]Cl3·3H2O}n (Ln = Dy, Tb, Eu) constructed using a dicarboxylic acid viologen derivative L (L = N,N'-4,4'-bipyridiniodipropionate) and LnCl3·6H2O were prepared. All materials showed positive responses to UV light, and the photochromic phenomena accompanied by significant photoquenching of photoluminescence could be observed through a photoelectron transfer mechanism. Strikingly, the Dy analogue displayed photomagnetic behavior, as well as responded positively to small molecules of inorganic ammonia/organic amines. Furthermore, the good photoresponsive and ammonia/amine vapor-responsive properties of the Dy-based material were further fulfilled in dual-function papers involving erasable inkless printing and visual amine detection applications. This work aims to advance the development of multistimulus-responsive multifunctional materials incorporating viologen derivates and versatile lanthanide ions and further enriches the research in this field.

Abstract
π-Conjugated macrocycles involving electron-deficient boron species have received increasing attention due to their intriguing tunable optoelectronic properties. However, most of the reported B(sp2)-doped macrocycles are difficult to modify due to the synthetic challenge, which limits their further applications. Motivated by the research of non-strained hexameric bora- and aza-cyclophanes, we describe a new class of analogues MC-BN5 and MC-ABN5 that contain charge-reversed triarylborane (Ar3B) units and oligomeric triarylamines (Ar3N) in the cyclics. As predicted by DFT computations, the unique orientation of the donor-acceptor systems leads to an increased dipole moment compared with highly symmetric macrocycles (M1, M2 and M3), which was experimentally represented by a significant solvatochromic effect with large Stokes shifts up to 12 318 cm-1. Such a ring-structured design also allows the easy peripheral modification of aza-boracyclophanes with tetraphenylethenyl (TPE) groups, giving rise to a change in the luminescence mechanism from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) in MC-BN5 to aggregation-induced emission (AIE) in MC-ABN5. The open-shell characteristics have been chemically enabled and were characterized by UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) for MC-BN5. The present study not only showed new electronic properties, but also could expand the research of B/N doped macrocycles into the future scope of supramolecular chemistry, as demonstrated in the accessible functionalization of ring systems.

Abstract
The utilization of azobenzene-based photoisomerization cannot only control the morphology of supramolecular assemblies, but can also regulate many biological processes. However, the design of azobenzene-involved nanoconstructs with switchable photoluminescence remains challenging because of the light-quenching ability of azobenzene. Herein, an azobenzene-derived multicomponent nanosystem is reported and its function as a supramolecular lanthanide photoswitch is explored. The metal chelation between lanthanide ions (Ln3+ = Eu3+ and Tb3+ ) and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid is utilized as the light-emitting center but its inherent fluorescence emission is completely suppressed via the disordered motion of the adjoining azophenyl unit. Interestingly, the hydrophobic cavity of α-cyclodextrin can provide a confined microenvironment to immobilize the molecular conformation of trans-azobenzene, thus leading to the recovery of characteristic lanthanide luminescence both in aqueous solution and the hydrogel state. Also, the luminescence can be reversibly turned off when the cis-azobenzene is expelled from the cavity of α-cyclodextrin upon alternating light irradiation. This mutual cooperation arising from host-guest complexation and metal-ligand coordination confers the desired photoswitchable luminescence abilities on the commonly used azobenzenes, which may hold great promise in the creation of more advanced light-responsive smart materials.

Abstract
Triarylborane (Ar3B) and triarylamine (Ar3N) have been widely employed to construct electronically different donor-acceptor (D-A) systems. Herein, we describe a series of A-D-A-type luminescent organoboranes L-B2Nn (n = 1, 3, 5) that show an increased number of Ar3N units as electron donors and two terminal Ar3B as acceptors. When the Ar3N moieties were extended from one to five units, their electron-donating strength was gradually enhanced and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gaps could also be tuned, which was further reflected in the red-shifted emissions from blue (λem = 458 nm) to orange (λem = 595 nm) with a decrease in Egap(elect) from 3.19 to 2.61 eV. L-B2N5 showed a huge Stokes shift (∼14 057 cm-1) and a considerably bright emission with an enhanced solid-state quantum efficiency (ΦS = 98%) compared with the other members. L-B2N3 and L-B2N5 exhibited aggregation-induced emissions (AIEs), and an apparent solvatochromic shift was also observed in the emission spectra as the solvent was changed from hexane to tetrahydrofuran (THF) (430 → 595 nm). In addition, the donor-acceptor charge-transfer character in these organoboranes caused a thermally responsive emission over a broad range.

Abstract
Organic small-molecule fluorescent chromophores have become essential to modern chemical, biological, and materials related investigations. Herein, a straightforward synthesis and subsequent borylation were presented to form a novel family of bisBF2-anchoring acyl-pyridinylhydrazine, which we named BOAPH. The chromophore enjoys outstanding structural diversities owing to varied acyl chlorides and N-heteroarenylhydrazides. These resultant BOAPH dyes are confirmed by NMR, HRMS, and single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. Their spectroscopic properties were studied, and most of the strong absorbance and bright fluorescence with maximum wavelengths centered in the range of 400 and 650 nm. More importantly, they exhibit promising fluorescence quantum yields up to 0.79 in solution and solid states, good photostability, and large Stokes shifts. Furthermore, a respective BOAPH dye with a para-dimethylaminophenyl group exhibited the interesting ability of ultrafast staining and two-photon imaging, which can specifically label lipid droplets of living cells immediately without the need for incubation.

Abstract
The reversible photoisomerization of azobenzenes has been extensively studied to construct systems with optical responsiveness; however, this process limits the luminescence of these compounds. Recently, there have been many efforts to design and synthesize fluorescent azobenzene compounds, such as inhibition of electron transfer, inducing aggregation, and metal-enhancement, which make the materials ideal for application in fluorescence probes, light-emitting devices, molecular detection, etc. Herein, we review the recently reported progress in the development of various fluorescent azobenzenes and summarize the possible mechanism of their fluorescence emission. The potential applications of these materials are also discussed. Finally, in order to guide research in this field, the existing problems and future development prospects are discussed.

Abstract
11,12-Dihydrodibenzo[c,g]-1,2-diazocines have been established as a viable alternative to azobenzene for photoswitching, in particular, as they show an inverted switching behavior: the ground state is the Z isomer. In this paper, we present an improved method to obtain dibenzodiazocine and its derivatives from the respective 2-nitrotoluenes in two reaction steps, each proceeding in minutes. This fast access to a variety of derivatives permitted the study of substitution effects on the synthesis and on the photochemical properties. With biochemical applications in mind, methanol was chosen as a protic solvent system for the photochemical investigations. In contrast to the azobenzene system, none of the tested substitution patterns resulted in more efficient switching or in significantly prolonged half-lives, showing that the system is dominated by the ring strain.

Abstract
Azobenzene is a well-known derivative of stimulus-responsive molecular switches and has shown superior performance as a functional material in biomedical applications. The results of multiple studies have led to the development of light/hypoxia-responsive azobenzene for biomedical use. In recent years, long-wavelength-responsive azobenzene has been developed. Matching the longer wavelength absorption and hypoxia-response characteristics of the azobenzene switch unit to the bio-optical window results in a large and effective stimulus response. In addition, azobenzene has been used as a hypoxia-sensitive connector via biological cleavage under appropriate stimulus conditions. This has resulted in on/off state switching of properties such as pharmacology and fluorescence activity. Herein, recent advances in the design and fabrication of azobenzene as a trigger in biomedicine are summarized.

Abstract
A set of photo-switchable monopeptides derived from cis-β-dibenzodiazocine-l-alanine (cis-DBDAA) have been designed and synthesized, which are capable of photo-click reacting with diaryltetrazoles or diarylsydnones in a hydrophobic phospholipid bilayer environment. The DBDAA monopeptides include both a hydrophobic tail on C-terminal, providing high affinity toward lipid membrane, and a modularized functional moiety on N-terminal, enabling rapid optimization of the self-assembly strength to form multifunctional supramolecules. With the cis-DBDAA monopeptides photo-switched into trans-configuration, we were able to disrupt the supramolecular assembly through an efficient photo-click reaction across the lipid bilayer of liposomes. We reveal that the performance of the photo-click reactions between the monopeptides and photo-generated nitrile imine intermediates is significantly enhanced by enrichment of both reactants in the hydrophobic membrane lamel of liposomes. Enrichment of the DBDAA monopeptide in lipid phase serves as a convenient method to introduce bioorthogonal chemical handles on live cell membranes, which enables fluorescence labelling of single cell's membrane with high spatiotemporal resolution to facilitate the studies on cell membrane dynamics.

Abstract
Azomethine (C=N) and azo (N=N) scaffolds are a part of structural units in poly(p-phenylene azomethine) (PAM) and poly(p-phenylene azo) (PAZ), respectively. Poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) is known to be one of luminescent π-conjugated polymers, meanwhile PAM and PAZ, which are the aza-substituted PPV analogues, are regarded as weak or no emissive materials. However, by the boron complexation, intense emission can be induced. Furthermore, environment-sensitivity and stimuli-responsivity were also observed. In this review, we demonstrate unique and versatile luminescent properties based on "flexible and bendable" π-conjugated systems composed of the boron-fused azomethine and azobenzene complexes (BAm and BAz) with the O,N,O-type tridentate ligands. The "flexible and bendable" luminophores showed intriguing optical behaviors, such as thermosalient effect, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and crystallized-induced emission (CIE). Moreover, highly efficient emissions both in solution and film states were observed from the polymers. We illustrate the results and mechanisms on these luminescent properties from the series of our recent studies with BAm and BAz complexes and polymers.

Abstract
We have developed a new family of luminescent materials featuring through-space charge transfer from electron donors to acceptors that are electronically separated by triptycene. Most of these molecules are highly fluorescent, and modulation of their emissions was achieved by tuning the electron-accepting strength in a range from the weak triptycene acceptor over triarylborane (BMes) to strongly accepting naphthalimide (Npa) moieties. Pz-Pz shows an aggregation-induced emission in aggregates and in the solid state coupled with a highly red-shifted broad emission (ca. 160 nm) of the excimer, indicating that phenothiazine (Pz) also plays a vital role in the emission responses as an electron donor. This work may help develop new approaches to photophysical mechanism based on the rigid, homoconjugated, and structurally unusual 3D triptycene scaffold.

Abstract
A new family of pyrrolyl-acylhydrazones anchored with two BF2 units, named BOAPY, have been developed as BODIPY-like and unsymmetrical bis(BF2) chromophores via a simple one-pot reaction. The easily accessible scaffold enjoys excellent diversity due to the structural versatilities of 2-formylpyrroles and acylhydrazines. BOAPYs exhibit good molar absorption coefficients, large Stokes shifts, and excellent chemical stability. More importantly, most of them display excellent fluorescence quantum yields both in solution and the solid state (up to 0.88 and 0.64, respectively).

Abstract
Azobenzenes are versatile photoswitches that have found widespread use in a variety of fields, ranging from photopharmacology to the material sciences. In addition to regular azobenzenes, the cyclic diazocines have recently emerged. Although diazocines have fascinating conformational and photophysical properties, their use has been limited by their synthetic accessibility. Herein, we present a general, high-yielding protocol that relies on the oxidative cyclization of dianilines. In combination with a modular substrate synthesis, it allows for rapid access to diversely functionalized diazocines on gram scales. Our work systematically explores substituent effects on the photoisomerization and thermal relaxation of diazocines. It will enable their incorporation into a wide variety of functional molecules, unlocking the full potential of these emerging photoswitches. The method can be applied to the synthesis of a new cyclic azobenzene with a nine-membered central ring and distinct properties.
