Towards Optical Information Recording: A Robust Visible-Light-Driven Molecular Photoswitch with the Ring-Closure Reaction Yield Exceeding 96.3 . Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202316706. [PMID: 38126129 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202316706] [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: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Diarylethene molecular photoswitches hold great fascination as optical information materials due to their unique bistability and exceptional reversible photoswitching properties. Conventional diarylethenes, however, rely on UV light for ring-closure reactions, typically with modest yields. For practical application, diarylethenes driven by visible lights are preferred but achieving high ring-closure reaction yield remains a significant challenge. Herein, we synthesized a novel all-visible-light-driven photoswitch, TPAP-DTE, by facilely endcapping the dithienylethene (DTE) core with triphenylamine phenyl (TPAP) groups. Owing to the electron-donating conjugation effect of TPAP, the open-form TPAP-DTE responds strongly to short-wavelength visible lights with considerable photocyclization quantum yields and molar absorption coefficient. Upon 405 nm visible-light irradiation, TPAP-DTE achieves a ring-closure reaction yield exceeding 96.3 % (confirmed by both nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography). Its ring-opening reaction yield is 100 % upon irradiation with long-wavelength visible light. TPAP-DTE could be regarded as a bidirectional "quasi"-quantitative conversion molecular switch. Furthermore, TPAP-DTE exhibits robust fatigue resistance over 100 full photoswitching cycles and great anti-aging property under 85 °C and 85 % humidity for at least 1000 h. Consequently, its rewritable QR-code, multilevel data storage, and anti-counterfeiting/encryption applications are successfully demonstrated exclusively using visible lights, positioning TPAP-DTE as a highly promising medium for information recording.

Abstract
Exploring novel dithienylethenes (DTEs) with efficient photochromism has drawn increasing attention in virtue of the potential applications for photoelectric functional materials. In this contribution, we presented two novel acceptor-acceptor (A-A) type DTE derivatives (4a and 4b) by incorporating the diestervinyl moieties with strong electron-withdrawing capacity into two sides of DTE skeleton. The corresponding structures were well confirmed by the NMR (1H and 13C) and HRMS. When irradiated alternately with ultraviolet and visible light, 4a and 4b showed efficient photochromism in toluene, chloroform and DMSO, clearly implying a solvent-dependence feature. Moreover, excellent photoswitching behaviors were also observed in the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that strong Acceptor-Acceptor effect plays a dominative role in the efficient photochromic performance. Hence, this study will provide a useful guidance for developing high-performance DTE derivatives in multi-media.

Abstract
Bidirectional optogenetic manipulation enables specific neural function dissection and animal behaviour regulation with high spatial-temporal resolution. It relies on the respective activation of two or more visible-light responsive optogenetic sensors, which inevitably induce signal crosstalk due to their spectral overlap, low photoactivation efficiency and potentially high biotoxicity. Herein, a strategy that combines dual-NIR-excited orthogonal emissive upconversion nanoparticles (OUCNPs) with a single dual-colour sensor, BiPOLES, is demonstrated to achieve bidirectional, crosstalk-free NIR manipulation of motor behaviour in vivo. Core@shell-structured OUCNPs with Tm3+ and Er3+ dopants in isolated layers exhibit orthogonal blue and red emissions in response to excitation at 808 and 980 nm, respectively. The OUCNPs subsequently activate BiPOLES-expressing excitatory cholinergic motor neurons in C. elegans, leading to significant inhibition and excitation of motor neurons and body bends, respectively. Importantly, these OUCNPs exhibit negligible toxicity toward neural development, motor function and reproduction. Such an OUCNP-BiPOLES system not only greatly facilitates independent, bidirectional NIR activation of a specific neuronal population and functional dissection, but also greatly simplifies the bidirectional NIR optogenetics toolset, thus endowing it with great potential for flexible upconversion optogenetic manipulation.

Abstract
This study investigates the fabrication and gas adsorption kinetics of an azobenzene (AZB)-modified titanium metal-organic framework (AZB@Ti-MOF) film composite optical waveguide (COWG) that recognizes ethylenediamine (EDA) gas. After modification with AZB, the surface of the Ti-MOF film became rough and evolved from a hemispherical structure to a petal-like structure; a large pore size and small specific surface area accompanied the evolution of the surface morphology. The AZB@Ti-MOF film COWG exhibited a positive response to EDA gas co-existing with the same concentration (1000 ppm) of benzenes, amines, and acidic gases. It is postulated that charge transfer occurs when the AZB@Ti-MOF film COWG adsorbs EDA gas, leading to significant strengthening of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds as EDA works as an electron donor. Incomplete or prolonged EDA desorption from the film surface at room temperature resulted in a decrease in the surface sensitivity of the COWG AZB@Ti-MOF film. The kinetics of EDA adsorption were examined using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic models. The EDA adsorption kinetics fit well with the PSO model. As measured at room temperature, the adsorption capacity (qe) per unit surface of the AZB@Ti-MOF films was 46.50 × 10-2 µg·cm-2.

Abstract
Green-to-blue triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion with the well-studied upconversion pair 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA)/platinum octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) was used to reversibly drive the photoisomerization of diarylethene (DAE) photoswitches by using visible light. By carefully selecting the kinetic and spectral properties of the molecular system as well as the experimental geometry, a single green light source can be used to selectively trigger both the ring-opening and the ring-closing reactions, whilst also inducing fluorescence from the colored closed isomer that can be used as a readout to monitor the isomerization process in situ. The upconversion solution and the DAE solution are kept physically separated, allowing them to be characterized both concomitantly and individually without further separation processes. The ring-closing reaction using upconverted photons was quantified and compared to the efficiency of direct isomerization with ultraviolet light.

Abstract
Much attention has been paid to oxidising amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) for inhibiting their aggregation using photosensitive materials. However, the low penetration of ultraviolet/visible light into biological tissues and low targeting properties of the materials hinder their application. Here, we constructed a novel platform for attenuating the neurotoxicity of Aβ through functional upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs@SiO2-ThS). UCNPs@SiO2-ThS can not only inhibit the aggregation of Aβ42 monomers, but also disassemble Aβ42 fibrils by its selective photooxidative capacity under the irradiation of near-infrared (NIR) light. Moreover, based on the enhancement of ThS fluorescence after attaching to Aβ42 fibrils, only Aβ42 fibrils exposed to both UCNPs@SiO2-ThS and light can be oxidized rather than other normal proteins. To further enhance Aβ-target photooxygenation, we introduced the Aβ-target peptide (KLVFF) on the surface. Compared to traditional chemotherapies and radiotherapies, this novel PDT strategy shows remarkably reduced side effects and improved targeting.

Abstract
Early tumor diagnosis could reliably predict the behavior of tumors and significantly reduce their mortality. Due to the response to early cancerous changes at the molecular or cellular level, tumor biomarkers, including small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, exosomes, and circulating tumor cells, have been employed as powerful tools for early cancer diagnosis. Therefore, exploring new approaches to detect tumor biomarkers has attracted a great deal of research interest. Lanthanide upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) provide numerous opportunities for bioanalytical applications. When excited by low-energy near-infrared light, UCNPs exhibit several unique properties, such as large anti-Stoke shifts, sharp emission lines, long luminescence lifetimes, resistance to photobleaching, and the absence of autofluorescence. Based on these excellent properties, UCNPs have demonstrated great sensitivity and selectivity in detecting tumor biomarkers. In this review, an overview of recent advances in tumor biomarker detection using UCNPs has been presented. The key aspects of this review include detection mechanisms, applications in vitro and in vivo, challenges, and perspectives of UCNP-based tumor biomarker detection.

Abstract
Photoswitchable nanomaterials are key materials in the development of advanced imaging techniques, such as super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. The combination of perovskite CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) with bright photoluminescence (PL) emission and diarylethenes (DAEs) with structural changes in response to ultraviolet (UV) and visible light is a promising candidate system. Herein, CsPbBr3 NCs are coupled with photochromic DAE molecules to control the PL emission from the NCs by light stimulation. The PL emission is successfully switched ON and OFF by alternating UV and visible light irradiation. Time-resolved PL emission studies suggest that Förster resonance energy transfer from CsPbBr3 NCs to the closed-ring form of DAE occurs after UV irradiation, and the PL emission is quenched. Upon visible-light irradiation, DAE is converted to the open-ring isomer, and the PL emission is restored. Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy reveals that light stimulation induces not only energy transfer but also photoinduced electron transfer in the NC-DAE pair on the picosecond timescale to form DAE radicals. Thus, it is suggested that the holes residing in the NCs react with the NCs, degrading the PL emission. Stable PL switching is realized using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) as a hole scavenger to avoid the reaction between the holes and NCs.

Abstract
Detection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is crucial to facilitate complete tumor resection, thus improving the survival rate as well as reducing the recurrence frequency and treatment expense. Fluorescence imaging cystoscopy is an effective method for the detection of NMIBC. However, its application is limited as the commonly applied fluorescent agents such as dyes and photosensitizers usually lack specific tumor accumulation and are vulnerable to photobleaching. Furthermore, the broad emission band of conventional fluorescent agents limits their imaging and detection efficacy. To overcome these limitations, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been selected as the fluorescent agent, due to their resistance to photobleaching, less background auto-fluorescence, and narrow emission bands. In order to achieve active tumor targeting, the UCNPs are coated with a glycosylated phospholipid layer. The glycosylated phospholipid-coated UCNPs exhibited high selective accumulation in cancer cells over normal cells and enhanced the upconversion luminescence (UCL) (at 540 nm and 660 nm) from bladder cancer cells under 980 nm laser irradiation. Glycosylated phospholipid coating that promotes uptake of UCNPs by cancer cells, and UCL emitted from UCNPs under NIR (980 nm) laser irradiation for cancer cell imaging.

Abstract
Light offers unique opportunities for controlling the activity of materials and biosystems with high spatiotemporal resolution. Molecular photoswitches are chromophores that undergo reversible isomerization between different states upon irradiation with light, allowing a convenient means to control their influence over the system of interest. However, a significant limitation of classical photoswitches is the requirement to initiate the switching in one or both directions using deleterious UV light with poor tissue penetration. Red-shifted photoswitches are hence in high demand and have attracted keen recent research interest. In this Review, we highlight recent progress towards the development of visible- and NIR-activated photoswitches characterized by distinct photochromic reaction mechanisms. We hope to inspire further endeavors in this field, allowing the full potential of these tools in biotechnology and materials chemistry applications to be realized.

Abstract
Lanthanide (Ln)-doped upconversion luminescence (UCL) materials have attracted worldwide attention due to their unique photophysical characteristics. However, how to effectively improve their UCL efficiency has always been an important scientific issue. Here, we design and fabricate β-NaYF4 microtubes (MTs) with a natural hexagonal shape in the cross section and wedge shape on both top vertexes, which can be regarded as an optical waveguide. The UCL property of a single β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+(or Tm3+) MT is systematically investigated based on waveguide-excitation modes. It is found that the excitation light can be efficiently coupled in the β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+(or Tm3+) MT by modulating the angle between the wedge-shape end plane of MT and the microscope slide. In addition, it is clearly observed that the excitation light can be confined and propagate in the MT by introducing a 633 nm laser, which is mainly due to the natural waveguide structure with a stronger confinement and propagation effect of light, thereby enhancing light-to-MT interactions. The current work provides a powerful solution to build high-efficiency Ln-doped UCL materials, which may have potential applications in the optical communication and biomedical fields.

Abstract
Multiphoton upconversion that can convert near-infrared irradiation into ultraviolet emission offers many unique opportunities for photocatalysis and phototherapy. However, the high-lying excited states of lanthanide emitters are often quenched by the interior lattice defects and deleterious interactions among different lanthanides, resulting in weak ultraviolet emission. Here, we describe a novel excitation energy lock-in approach to boost ultraviolet upconversion emission in a new class of multilayer core-shell nanoparticles with a gadolinium-rich core domain. Remarkably, we observe more than 70-fold enhancements in Gd 3+ emission from the designed nanoparticles compared with the conventional nanoparticles. Our mechanistic investigation reveals that the combination of energy migration over the core domain and optically inert NaYF 4 interlayer can effectively confine the excitation energy and thus lead to intense multiphoton ultraviolet emission in upconversion nanostructures. We further achieve a 35.6% increase in photocatalytic reactivity and 26.5% in reactive oxygen species production yield in ZnO-coated upconversion nanocomposites under 808-nm excitation. This study provides a new insight to energy transfer mechanism in lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, and offers an exciting avenue for exploring novel near-infrared photocatalysts.

Abstract
In the past few decades, significant progress of the conventional upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) based nanoplatform has been achieved in many fields, and with the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, more and more complex situations need a UCNPs based nanoplatform having multifunctions for specific multimodal or multiplexed applications. Through self-assembly, different UCNPs or UCNPs with other materials could be combined together within an entity. It is more like an ideal UCNPs nanoplatform, a unique system with the properties defined by its individual components as well as by the morphology of the composite. Various designs can show their different desired properties depending on the application situation. This review provides a complete summary on the optimization of the synthesis method for the recently designed UCNPs assemblies and summarizes various applications, including dual-modality cell imaging, molecular delivery, detection, and programmed control therapy. The challenges and limitations the UCNPs assembly faces and the potential solutions in this field are also presented.

Abstract
Lanthanide-based upconversion nanomaterials have recently attracted considerable attention in both fundamental research and various frontier applications owing to their excellent photon upconversion performance and favourable physicochemical properties. In particular, the emergence of multi-layer core-shell (MLCS) nanostructures offers a versatile and powerful tool to realize well-defined matrix compositions and spatial distributions of the dopant on the nanometer length scale. In contrast to the conventional nanomaterials and commonly investigated core-shell nanoparticles, the rational design of MLCS nanostructures allows us to deliberately introduce more functional properties into an upconversion system, thus providing unprecedented opportunities for the precise manipulation of energy transfer channels, the dynamic control of upconversion processes, the fine tuning of switchable emission colours and new functional integration at a single-particle level. In this review, we present a summary and discussion on the key aspects of the recent progress in lanthanide-based MLCS nanoparticles, including the manipulation of emission and lifetime, the switchable multicolour output and the lanthanide ionic interactions on the nanoscale. Benefitting from the multifunctional and versatile luminescence properties, the MLCS nanostructures exhibit great potential in diversities of frontier applications such as three-dimensional display, upconversion laser, optical memory, anti-counterfeiting, thermometry, bioimaging, and therapy. The outlook and challenges as well as perspectives for the research in MLCS nanostructure materials are also provided. This review would be greatly helpful in exploring new structural designs of lanthanide-based materials to further manipulate the upconversion phenomenon and expand their application boundaries.

Abstract
Impurity doping is a promising method to impart new properties to various materials. Due to their unique optical, magnetic, and electrical properties, rare-earth ions have been extensively explored as active dopants in inorganic crystal lattices since the 18th century. Rare-earth doping can alter the crystallographic phase, morphology, and size, leading to tunable optical responses of doped nanomaterials. Moreover, rare-earth doping can control the ultimate electronic and catalytic performance of doped nanomaterials in a tunable and scalable manner, enabling significant improvements in energy harvesting and conversion. A better understanding of the critical role of rare-earth doping is a prerequisite for the development of an extensive repertoire of functional nanomaterials for practical applications. In this review, we highlight recent advances in rare-earth doping in inorganic nanomaterials and the associated applications in many fields. This review covers the key criteria for rare-earth doping, including basic electronic structures, lattice environments, and doping strategies, as well as fundamental design principles that enhance the electrical, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties of the material. We also discuss future research directions and challenges in controlling rare-earth doping for new applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Counterfeit leather products infringe the intellectual property rights of the business, cause enormous economic loss, and negatively influence the business enthusiasm for innovation. However, traditional anti-counterfeiting materials for leather products suffer from complicated fabrication procedures, photobleaching, and high volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Here, a sustainable and invisible anti-counterfeiting ink composed of waterborne polyurethane and water-dispersible lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) featuring ease of preparation, high photostability, non-toxicity, low VOC emissions, and strong adhesion strength for leather products is designed and synthesized. After decorating on the surface of leather products, the obtained patterns are invisible under normal light conditions. Upon irradiation at 808 nm, the invisible patterns can be observed by naked eyes due to the visible light emitted by 808 nm excited UCNPs. Our approach described here opens a new pathway to realize the long-term, stable anti-counterfeiting function of leather products.

Abstract
Upconversion emissions from lanthanide-doped nanocrystals have sparked extensive research interests in nanophotonics, biomedicine, photovoltaics, photocatalysis, etc. Rational modulation of upconversion emissions is highly desirable to meet the requirements of specific applications. Among the diverse developed methods, local structure engineering is fundamentally feasible, through which the upconversion emission intensity, selectivity, wavelength shift, and lifetime can be tuned effectively. The underlying mechanism of the local-structure-dependent upconversion emissions lies in the degree of parity hybridization and energy level splitting of lanthanide ions as well as the interionic energy transfer efficiency. Over the past few years, there has been significant progress in local-structure-engineered upconversion emissions. In this Perspective, we first introduce the principles of upconversion emissions and typical characterization methods for local structure. Subsequently, we summarize recent achievements in tuning of upconversion emissions through local structure engineering, including host composition adjustment, external field regulation, and interfacial strain management. Finally, we propose a few perspectives that should tackle the current bottlenecks. This Perspective is expected to deepen the understanding of local-structure-dependent upconversion emissions and arouse adequate attention to the engineering of local structure for desired properties of inorganic nanocrystals.

Abstract
Fluorescent biomedical materials can visualize subcellular structures and therapy processes in vivo. The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon helps suppress the quenching effect in the aggregated state suffered by conventional fluorescent materials, thereby contributing to design strategies for fluorescent biomedical materials. Photoresponsive biomedical materials have attracted attention because of the inherent advantages of light; i.e., remote control, high spatial and temporal resolution, and environmentally friendly characteristics, and their combination with AIE facilitates development of fluorescent molecules with efficient photochemical reactions upon light irradiation. In this review, organic compounds with AIE features for biomedical applications and design strategies for photoresponsive AIE luminogens (AIEgens) are first summarized briefly. Applications are then reviewed, with the employment of photoresponsive and AIE-active molecules for photoactivation imaging, super-resolution imaging, light-induced drug delivery, photodynamic therapy with photochromic behavior, and bacterial targeting and killing being discussed at length. Finally, the future outlook for AIEgens is considered with the aim of stimulating innovative work for further development of this field.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) responsiveness is important for various applications. Currently, single-photon NIR-responsive systems are rare compared to systems that display two-photon absorption and triplet-triplet annihilation processes. Supramolecular stacking of photo-responsive chromophores results in decreased efficiency due to space-confinement effects. Herein we show that σ-platination of pentacenes is a feasible protocol to build single-photon NIR-responsive systems, with advantages including a low HOMO-LUMO energy gap, high photochemical efficiency, and pathway specificity. The pentacene-to-endoperoxidation transformation is accompanied by color and absorbance changes. The high photo-oxygenation efficiency of σ-platinated pentacenes facilitates NIR responsiveness in one-dimensional supramolecular polymers, resulting in the disappearance of supramolecular chirality signals and disruption of self-assembled nanofibers. Overall, the σ-platination strategy opens up new avenues toward NIR photo-responsive materials at the molecular and supramolecular levels.

Abstract
In superresolution fluorescence microscopy, employing synthetic dyes that can be reversibly photoswitched between a nonfluorescent (“dark”) and a fluorescent (“bright”) state has been an attractive alternative to using photoswitchable fluorescent proteins. However, employing such synthetic dyes has been elusive because they have defied reliable attachment to proteins and required UV light for photoswitching. Here we prepared “turn-on mode” fluorescent diarylethenes (fDAEs) that are switchable with visible rather than UV light and blink between a bright fluorescent and a dark state in aqueous buffers. Moreover, our thienyl-substituted fDAEs effectively labeled two thiol groups on nanobodies bearing a single maleimide tag. With these small-sized probes, we acquired superresolution images of vimentin filaments in cells by applying just yellow (561 nm) light. The use of photoswitchable fluorescent diarylethenes (fDAEs) as protein labels in fluorescence microscopy and nanoscopy has been limited by labeling inhomogeneity and the need for ultraviolet light for fluorescence activation (on-switching). To overcome these drawbacks, we prepared “turn-on mode” fDAEs featuring thienyl substituents, multiple polar residues, and a reactive maleimide group in the core structure. Conjugates with antibodies and nanobodies displayed complete on-switching and excitation with violet (405 nm) and yellow-green (<565 nm) light, respectively. Besides, they afforded high signal-to-noise ratios and low unspecific labeling in fluorescence imaging. Irradiation with visible light at 532 nm or 561 nm led to transient on-off switching (“blinking”) of the fDAEs of double-labeled nanobodies so that nanoscale superresolution images were readily attained through switching and localization of individual fluorophores.

Abstract
Photon upconversion based on triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) has attracted great attention due to its remarkable features including the high upconversion quantum yield, low threshold, and flexible combination of sensitizer and annihilator. Endowing TTA-UC with responsiveness will offer additional application dimensions; however, it is a challenge to develop annihilators with responsive features in the excited triplet state. Here we demonstrate the synthesis and photophysical behaviors of photofluorochromic annihilators derived from fluorescent diarylethenes. A series of turn-on mode fluorescent diarylethenes based on 1,2-bis(2-ethyl-1-benzothiophen-1,1-dioxide-3-yl)perfuorocyclopentene were synthesized, and their photochromism and photofluorochromism behaviors were thoroughly investigated. When sensitized by near-infrared ruthenium phthalocyanine, TTA-UC could be observed under excitation of 730 nm, accompanied by upconverted emission ranging from 500 to 700 nm. Because of the photoresponsive properties of the annihilators, TTA-UC can be switched between "on" and "off" by alternating irradiation of ultraviolet and visible light.

Abstract
Controlling nonlinear optical signals electrically offers many opportunities for technological developments. Lanthanide-activated nanoparticles have recently emerged as leading platforms for nonlinear upconversion of infra-red excitation within nanometric volumes. However, manipulation of upconversion emission is restricted to varying percentages of component materials, nanocrystal structure, and optical pumping conditions. Here, we report temporal modulation of anti-Stokes luminescence by coupling upconversion nanoparticles with an electrochemically responsive molecule. By electrically tailoring orbital energy levels of the molecules anchored on nanoparticle surfaces, we demonstrate reversible control of molecular absorption, resulting in dynamic colour editing of anti-Stokes luminescence at single-particle resolution. Moreover, we show that a programmable logic gate array based on opto-electrochemical modulation can be constructed to convert information-encrypted electrical signals into visible patterns with millisecond photonic readout. These findings offer insights into precise control of anti-Stokes luminescence, while enabling a host of applications from low-threshold infrared logic switches to multichannel, high-fidelity photonic circuits.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have gone beyond traditional fluorophores in a lot of fields due to the outstanding features such as sharp excitation and emission bands, chemical and photo stability of high quality, low auto fluorescence, and high tissue permeation depth of the near-infrared irradiation light used for excitation. Conventional UCNPs carrying single/multiple emissions under a single excitation wavelength can be only employed in concurrent activation, orthogonal emissive upconversion nanoparticles (OUCNPs) with the emissions, a kind of luminescence reliant on excitation, in which by switching the external excitation different lanthanide activators can adopt independent way to control the emission, is more like an ideal UCNPs nanoplatform which can switch their activated emissions depending upon the different application for which it is used at the right time when necessary. This review summaries what has been achieved on the synthesis optimization of designed OUCNPs in recent years and sums up various applications including bioimaging, photo-switching, and programmable control process. And also, the limitations OUCNPs face, and the efforts that have been made to overcome these limitations are discussed.

Abstract
Nanoscale optical writing using far-field super-resolution methods provides an unprecedented approach for high-capacity data storage. However, current nanoscale optical writing methods typically rely on photoinitiation and photoinhibition with high beam intensity, high energy consumption, and short device life span. We demonstrate a simple and broadly applicable method based on resonance energy transfer from lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles to graphene oxide for nanoscale optical writing. The transfer of high-energy quanta from upconversion nanoparticles induces a localized chemical reduction in graphene oxide flakes for optical writing, with a lateral feature size of ~50 nm (1/20th of the wavelength) under an inhibition intensity of 11.25 MW cm-2 Upconversion resonance energy transfer may enable next-generation optical data storage with high capacity and low energy consumption, while offering a powerful tool for energy-efficient nanofabrication of flexible electronic devices.

Abstract
Development of multicolor-emitting upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is of significant importance for applications in optical encoding, anti-counterfeiting, display, and bioimaging. However, realizing the orthogonal three-primary color (TPC) upconversion luminescence in a single nanoparticle remains a huge challenge. Herein, we have rationally designed core-multishell-structured NaYF4 UCNPs through regulating the dopant concentration, composition of luminescent layers, and shell position and thickness, which are capable of emitting red, green, and blue luminescence with high color purity in response to ternary near-infrared quadrature excitations (1560/808/980 nm). Moreover, their high color purity is well retained with varying excitation power densities. This orthogonal TPC emissions property of such UCNPs endows them with great promise in the field of security. As a proof-of-concept, we have demonstrated the feasibility of combining such UCNPs with MnO2 nanosheets for information encryption and decryption. This work not only offers a new way to achieve TPC upconversion luminescence at a single nanoparticle level but also broadens the scope of application for security protection.

Abstract
The growing use of rare-earth doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) has caused increasing concern about their biosafety. Here, to understand the toxicity of UCNPs and their mechanism in HepG2 cells, we systematically study the cytotoxicity, uptake and elimination behaviors of three types of UCNPs combined multiple cytotoxicity evaluation means with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection. Sodium yttrium fluoride, doped with 18% (molar ratio) ytterbium and 2% erbium (NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+) was selected as the model UCNPs with two sizes (35 and 55 nm), and the poly(acrylic acid) and polyethylenimine were selected as the representatives of negative and positive surface coating of UCNPs, respectively. UCNPs were found to induce cytotoxicity in time- and dose-dependent manners, which might be mediated by reactive oxygen species generation and oxidative stress. Apoptosis, inflammation, and metabolic process were enhanced after cells exposed to 200 mg/L UCNPs for 48 h. Increase in the protein levels of cleaved caspased-9, cleaved caspase-3 and Bax and decrease in the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2 suggested that the mitochondria mediated pathway was involved in UCNP-induced apoptosis. With the aid of ICP-MS, it demonstrated that the cytotoxicity was associated with internalized amount of UCNPs, which largely relied on their surface properties rather than size in the tested range. By comparing UCNPs with Y3+ ions, it demonstrated that NPs properties played a nonnegligible role in the cytotoxicity of UCNPs. These findings provide new insights for fundamental understanding of cytotoxicity of UCNPs and may contribute to more rational use of these materials in the future.

Abstract
Photochromic coordinative cages containing dynamic C
Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019
]]>
N imine bonds are assembled from a dithienylethene-based aldehyde and tris-amine precursors via metallo-component self-assembly. The resulting metal-templated cages are then reduced and demetalated into pure covalent-organic cages (COCs), which are otherwise difficult to prepare via de novo organic synthesis. Both the obtained coordinative and covalent cages can be readily interconverted between the ring-open (o-isomer) and one-lateral ring-closed (c-isomer) forms by UV/vis light irradiation, demonstrating distinct absorption, luminescence and photoisomerization dynamics. Specifically, the ring-closed c-COCs show a blue-shifted absorption band compared with analogous metal-templated cages, which can be applied in photoluminescence (PL) color-tuning of upconversion materials in different ways, showing potential for constructing multi-readout logic gate systems. Metal-templated component self-assembly and then demetalation affords photochromic covalent organic cages applicable for upconversion PL-color tuning for logic gates.![]()

Abstract
Drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on nanomaterials have shown a promise for cancer chemotherapy; however, it remains a great challenge to localize on-demand release of anticancer drugs in tumor tissues to improve therapeutic effects and minimize the side effects. In this regard, photoresponsive DDSs that employ light as an external stimulus can offer a precise spatiotemporal control of drug release at desired sites of interest. Most photoresponsive DDSs are only responsive to ultraviolet-visible light that shows phototoxicity and/or shallow tissue penetration depth, and thereby their applications are greatly restricted. To address these issues, near-infrared (NIR) photoresponsive DDSs have been developed. In this review, the development of NIR photoresponsive DDSs in last several years for cancer photo-chemotherapy are summarized. They can achieve on-demand release of drugs into tumors of living animals through photothermal, photodynamic, and photoconversion mechanisms, affording obviously amplified therapeutic effects in synergy with phototherapy. Finally, the existing challenges and further perspectives on the development of NIR photoresponsive DDSs and their clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
The development of red or near-infrared light (NIR) switchable photochromic molecules is required for an efficient utilization of sunlight and regulation of biological activities. While the photosensitization of photochromic molecules to red or NIR light has been achieved by a two-photon absorption process, the development of a molecule itself having sensitivity to red or NIR light has been now a challenging study. Herein, we developed an efficient molecular design for realizing red or NIR-light-responsive negative photochromism based on binaphthyl-bridged imidazole dimers. The introduction of electron-donating substituents shows the red shift of the absorption band at the visible-light region because of the contribution of a charge-transfer transition. Especially, the introduction of a di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino group (TPAOMe) and a perylenyl group largely shifts the absorption edge of the stable colored form to 900 nm. In addition, because the absorption band of one of the derivatives substituted with TPAOMe covers the whole visible-light region, the colored form shows a neutral gray color. Upon red (660 nm) or NIR-light (790 nm) irradiation, we observed the negative photochromic reaction from the stable colored form to the metastable colorless form. Therefore, the substituted binaphthyl-bridged imidazole dimers constitute the attractive photoswitches within a biological window.

Abstract
In recent years, much progress has been motivated in stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, which could response to the intrinsic physicochemical and pathological factors in diseased regions to increase the specificity of drug delivery. Currently, numerous nanocarriers have been engineered with physicochemical changes in responding to external stimuli, such as ultrasound, thermal, light and magnetic field, as well as internal stimuli, including pH, redox potential, hypoxia and enzyme, etc. Nanocarriers could respond to stimuli in tumor microenvironments or inside cancer cells for on-demanded drug delivery and accumulation, controlled drug release, activation of bioactive compounds, probes and targeting ligands, as well as size, charge and conformation conversion, etc., leading to sensing and signaling, overcoming multidrug resistance, accurate diagnosis and precision therapy. This review has summarized the general strategies of developing stimuli-responsive nanocarriers and recent advances, presented their applications in drug delivery, tumor imaging, therapy and theranostics, illustrated the progress of clinical translation and made prospects.

Abstract
Fluorescent microscopic imaging with the help of small-molecule probes (chemoprobes) is one of the most feasible approaches for noninvasive sensing of intracellular molecules. However, the "always on" property of current chemoprobes failed to achieve time-resolved monitoring. Here, we report the development of a supramolecular nanoassembling strategy to integrate multiple functions on one nanoscale probe (nanoprobe) with a cyclical on-off switchable sensing ability. The reversal of the nanoprobe can be rapidly achieved by converting the single-wavelength near-infrared (NIR) laser to two-way emissions by a lanthanum nanoparticle core that is sensitive to the light power density. Through regulating the NIR power density, the azobenzene derivative, which was doped in the surface of the lipid bilayer of the nanoprobe, can act as an "impeller" and "brake" for bio-benign activation and deactivation, respectively, of the nanoprobe in biological applications. A reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide nanoprobe was constructed as the model to demonstrate precise and time-resolved monitoring of intracellular processes including cancerous glycolysis and ligand-induced enzymatic processes. We envision that this cyclical on-off switchable nanoprobe strategy will hold great promise for endowing universal chemoprobes with high precision and temporal resolution.

Abstract
A novel aldehyde-substituted acceptor-DTE-acceptor-type dithienylethene derivative, in which the difluoroboron β-diketonate and aldehyde groups at the termini of the dithienylethene function as electron acceptors, has been developed. The structure was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry (electrospray ionization) and infrared. The derivative displays solvent-dependent photophysical properties, visible light–triggered near-infrared photochromism, and fluorescent switching behavior in solvents of different polarity. Moreover, it can be utilized as a versatile building block to construct novel near-infrared photochromic materials.

Abstract
Conventional luminescent information is usually visible under either ambient or UV light, hampering their potential application in smart confidential information protection. In order to address this challenge, herein, light-triggered luminescence ON-OFF switchable hybrid hydrogels are successfully constructed through in situ copolymerization of acrylamide, lanthanide complex, and diarylethene photochromic unit. The open-close behavior of the diarylethene ring in the polymer could be controlled by UV and visible light irradiation, where the close form of the ring features fluorescence resonance energy transfer with the lanthanide complex. The hydrogel-based blocks with tunable emission colors are then employed to construct 3D information codes, which can be read out under a 254 nm UV lamp. The exposure to 300 nm UV light leads to the luminescence quenching of the hydrogels, thus erasing the encoded information. Under visible light (>450 nm) irradiation, the luminescence is recovered to make the confidential information readable again. Thus, by simply alternating the exposure to UV and visible lights, the luminescence signals could become invisible and visible reversibly, allowing for reversible multiple information encryption and decryption.

Abstract
Engineering of smart photoactivated nanomaterials for targeted drug delivery systems (DDS) has recently attracted considerable research interest as light enables precise and accurate controlled release of drug molecules in specific diseased cells and/or tissues in a highly spatial and temporal manner. In general, the development of appropriate light-triggered DDS relies on processes of photolysis, photoisomerization, photo-cross-linking/un-cross-linking, and photoreduction, which are normally sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) or visible (Vis) light irradiation. Considering the issues of poor tissue penetration and high phototoxicity of these high-energy photons of UV/Vis light, recently nanocarriers have been developed based on light-response to low-energy photon irradiation, in particular for the light wavelengths located in the near infrared (NIR) range. NIR light-triggered drug release systems are normally achieved by using two-photon absorption and photon upconversion processes. Herein, recent advances of light-responsive nanoplatforms for controlled drug release are reviewed, covering the mechanism of light responsive small molecules and polymers, UV and Vis light responsive nanocarriers, and NIR light responsive nanocarriers. NIR-light triggered drug delivery by two-photon excitation and upconversion luminescence strategies is also included. In addition, the challenges and future perspectives for the development of light triggered DDS are highlighted.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been considered as a promising and noninvasive strategy for clinical cancer treatment. Nonetheless, building a smart "off-on" theranostic PDT platform to spatiotemporally control the generation of reactive oxygen species in the PDT treatment still remains challenging. Here, we have rationally developed photoswitching upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with orthogonal emissive properties in response to two distinct near-infrared (NIR) emissions at 808 and 980 nm, i.e., red emission with 980 nm excitation and green emission with 808 nm excitation. Unlike traditional photoswitching UCNPs, these specially designed core-shell-shell structured UCNPs do not require complicated multilayer doping as their red and green upconversion luminescence both originate from the same activator Er3+ ions in the core structure. As a proof of concept, we have demonstrated the capability of these orthogonal emissive UCNPs for imaging-guided PDT in a real-time manner, where the red emission excited by 980 nm light is used to trigger PDT and the green emission with 808 nm excitation is to diagnose and monitor the therapeutic treatment. Our study suggests that such specially designed UCNPs with orthogonal emissions hold great promise for NIR light-targeted and imaging-guided therapy under precisely spatiotemporal control.
