Abstract
Photoswitchable molecules that undergo nanoscopic changes upon photoisomerisation can be harnessed to control macroscopic properties such as colour, solubility, shape, and motion of the systems they are incorporated into. These molecules find applications in various fields of chemistry, physics, biology, and materials science. Until recently, research efforts have focused on the design of efficient photoswitches responsive to low-energy (red or near-infrared) irradiation, which however may compromise other molecular properties such as thermal stability and robustness. Indirect isomerisation methods enable photoisomerisation with low-energy photons without altering the photoswitch core, and also open up new avenues in controlling the thermal switching mechanism. In this perspective, we present the state of the art of five indirect excitation methods: two-photon excitation, triplet sensitisation, photon upconversion, photoinduced electron transfer, and indirect thermal methods. Each impacts our understanding of the fundamental physicochemical properties of photochemical switches, and offers unique application prospects in biomedical technologies and beyond.

Abstract
Stepwise two-photon absorption processes have received considerable attention, especially in photocatalysis, due to their relatively lower power threshold, characteristic spatial selectivity, amplification of chemical reactions, and so on. Meanwhile, studies on the relaxation dynamics of higher excited states in condensed systems have been limited for several molecular systems due to the short-lived nature of these states. In this study, we synthesized perylene-substituted perylene bisimide (PBI) and its derivate as model compounds and investigated their excited-state dynamics, including higher excited states, using pump-repump-probe spectroscopy. We revealed that these molecules form charge-transfer (CT) states instantaneously after the excitation, regardless of whether it is the perylene moiety or the PBI moiety that is excited. The lifetime of the CT state was shorter when the distance between the donor (perylene) and the acceptor (PBI) was shorter. Moreover, we also revealed that a higher-lying CT state generated by the stepwise excitation of the CT state using a 740-nm pulse induced Stark effect to the neighboring perylene moiety. The Stark effect not only gives more detailed information about the CT state, but also presents the possibility of new photofunctions, such as instantaneous modulation of the electronic state to achieve optimal electronic properties. These insights contribute to understanding advanced photochemical reactions and would be important for exploring photocatalytic reactions involving higher excited states.

Abstract
Near-infrared two-photon absorption and excited state dynamics of a fluorescent diarylethene (fDAE) derivative were investigated by time-resolved absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies. Prescreening with quantum chemical calculation predicted that a derivative with methylthienyl groups (mt-fDAE) in the closed-ring isomer has a two-photon absorption cross-section larger than 1000 GM, which was experimentally verified by Z-scan measurements and excitation power dependence in transient absorption. Comparison of transient absorption spectra under one-photon and simultaneous two-photon excitation conditions revealed that the closed-ring isomer of mt-fDAE populated into higher excited states deactivates following three pathways on a timescale of ca. 200 fs: (i) the cycloreversion reaction more efficient than that by the one-photon process, (ii) internal conversion into the S1 state, and (iii) relaxation into a lower state (S1' state) different from the S1 state. Time-resolved fluorescence measurements demonstrated that this S1' state is relaxed to the S1 state with the large emission probability. These findings obtained in the present work contribute to extension of the ON-OFF switching capability of fDAE to the biological window and application to super-resolution fluorescence imaging in a two-photon manner.

Abstract
Achieving visible-light photochromism is a long-term goal of chemists keen to exploit the opportunities of molecular photoswitches in multi-disciplinary research studies. Triplet-sensitization offers a flexible approach to building diverse visible-light photoswitches using existing photochromic scaffolds, circumventing the need for sophisticated molecular design and synthesis. Unfortunately, distance-dependence and environment-sensitivity of triplet-excited species remain as key challenges that severely impair sensitization efficiency and limit their practical availability. We present herein a nature-inspired nanoconfinement strategy in which a triplet-sensitized visible-light photoswitch/sensitizer system is assembled into nanoconfined micelles (d ∼ 40 nm). A ca. 10-fold efficiency increase of triplet-triplet energy transfer for photochromism as well as an amplified fluorescence on/off contrast upon bi-directional visible-light excitation (470/560 nm) was achieved in full aqueous media. By virtue of this, the hybrid photoswitchable system is successfully applied for both flash information encryption and multiple dynamic cell imaging assays, further proving its versatility in materials and life science.

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
Photochromic molecules that can exhibit multiple states of photochromism in a single photochromic unit are considered more attractive than traditional bistable photochromic molecules because they can offer more versatility and control in photoresponsive systems. We have synthesized a negative photochromic 1-(1-naphthyl)pyrenyl-bridged imidazole dimer (NPy-ImD) that has three different isomers: a colorless isomer, 6MR, a blue-colored isomer, 5MR-B, and a red-colored isomer, 5MR-R. NPy-ImD can interconvert between these isomers via a short-lived transient biradical, BR, upon photoirradiation. 5MR-R is the most stable isomer, and the energy levels of 6MR, 5MR-B, and BR are relatively close to each other. The colored isomers 5MR-R and 5MR-B are photochemically isomerized to 6MR via the short-lived BR upon irradiation with blue light and red light, respectively. The absorption bands of 5MR-R and 5MR-B are well separated by more than 150 nm, with a small overlap, which means they can be selectively excited with different light sources, visible light for 5MR-R and NIR light for 5MR-B. The colorless isomer 6MR is formed from the short-lived BR through a kinetically controlled reaction. 6MR and 5MR-B can then be converted to the more stable isomer 5MR-R through a thermodynamically controlled reaction, which is facilitated by the thermally accessible intermediate, BR. Notably, 5MR-R photoisomerizes to 6MR when irradiated with CW-UV light, whereas it photoisomerizes to 5MR-B by a two-photon process when irradiated with nanosecond UV laser pulses.

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
The photochromic molecules showing wavelength-selective or light intensity-dependent photoresponse are receiving increased attention in recent years. Although a photoswitch with a single chromophore can control the ON and OFF states of a function, that consisting of multi-chromophores would be useful for the specific control in complex systems. Herein, we designed stepwise two-photon induced photochromic molecules (PABI-PIC and PABI-PIC2) consisting of two different photochromic units (PABI and PIC). One-photon absorption reaction in the UV light region of PABI-PIC generates the short-lived transient biradical (BR) that absorbs an additional photon in the visible and UV light region in a stepwise manner to produce the two-photon photochemical product, the quinoidal species (Quinoid). The photochromic properties of these transient species are completely different in color and fading speed. In addition, PABI-PIC also shows the excitation wavelength-dependent photochromism because the excited states of the PABI and PIC units are electronically orthogonal. Therefore, the stepwise photochromic properties of PABI-PIC are easily controlled depending on the excitation light intensity and wavelength. These molecular designs are important for the development of advanced photoresponsive materials.

Multiphoton excitation promises opportunities for opening new photochemical reaction pathways and controlling photoproduct distributions. We demonstrate photonic control of the 6π photocyclization of ortho-terphenyl to make 4a,4b-dihydrotriphenylene (DHT). Using pump-repump-probe spectroscopy we show that 1 + 1' excitation to a high-lying reactant electronic state generates a metastable species characterized by a red absorption feature that accompanies a repump-induced depletion in the one-photon trans-dihydro product (trans-DHT); signatures of the new photoproduct are clearer for a structural analogue of the reactant that is sterically inhibited against one-photon cyclization. Quantum-chemical computations support assignment of this species to cis-DHT, which is accessible photochemically along a disrotatory coordinate from high-lying electronic states reached by 1 + 1' excitation. We use time-resolved spectroscopy to track photochemical dynamics producing cis-DHT. In total, we demonstrate that selective multiphoton excitation opens a new photoreaction channel in these photocyclizing reactants by taking advantage of state-dependent correlations between reactant and product electronic states.

Abstract
Stepwise two-photon absorption (2PA) processes are becoming an important technique because it can achieve high reductive photochemical reactions with visible and near infrared light and intensity-gated high spatiotemporal selectivity with much lower power thresholds than those of the simultaneous 2PA. However, excited states generated by stepwise 2PA (higher excited states and excited states of transient species) are so short-lived that the efficiency for the stepwise 2PA induced photochemical reactions is usually quite low, which limits the versatility for this technique. Here, we demonstrated that the electron of the higher excited state can be efficiently extracted in a nanohybrid of organic molecules and wide bandgap semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). Using perylene bisimide (PBI)-coordinated CdS NCs as a model compound, we demonstrated that the electron of the higher excited state of PBI generated by stepwise 2PA can be extracted to the conduction band of CdS NCs with a quantum yield of ∼0.5-0.7. Moreover, the extracted electron survives at the conduction band of CdS NCs over nanoseconds, which is more than hundred times longer than the lifetime of the S2 state of PBI. This method can be applied to other organic molecules and larger wide bandgap semiconductors, and therefore, will expand the versatility for the photochemical reactions utilizing the short-lived excited states.

Abstract
![]()
The
combination of two two-photon-induced processes in a Förster
resonance energy transfer (FRET)-operated photochromic fluorene-dithienylethene
dyad lays the foundation for the observation of a quartic dependence
of the fluorescence signal on the excitation light intensity. While
this photophysical behavior is predicted for a four-photon absorbing
dye, the herein proposed approach opens the way to use two-photon
absorbing dyes, reaching the same performance. Hence, the spatial
resolution limit, being a critical parameter for applications in fluorescence
imaging or data storage with common two-photon absorbing dyes, is
dramatically improved.

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
There has been an increasing amount of interest in stepwise two-photon-absorption (2PA)-induced photochemical reactions because of their extremely lower power thresholds compared to that of the simultaneous process and drastic reaction enhancements in some cases. However, stepwise 2PA-induced photochemical reactions were reported only in single chromophores and covalently bound bichromophores and there are few reports on these reactions in noncovalently bound systems because of weak electronic interactions among chromophores. This study demonstrated the stepwise 2PA-induced electron transfer from higher excited states in noncovalently bound protoporphyrin IX·CdS/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals (NCs). The electron transfer from higher excited states of porphyrin to CdS NCs successfully overcomes the activation barrier associated with the wide bandgap ZnS shell, indicating that a high reduction potential can be obtained with the stepwise 2PA process. The concept presented in this study can be applied to various noncovalently bound multichromophore systems to explore nonlinear photoresponses.

Abstract
Two novel donor–π–acceptor-type dithienylethene derivatives, in which the triphenylamine group acts as electron donor and the formyl group functions as electron acceptor, have been developed. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS (ESI). Investigation of their photochromic properties indicated that they had good photochromic behaviour and excellent fatigue resistance on irradiation with UV or visible light. DFT calculations further validated these experimental results for photochromic behaviour. Moreover, these compounds can be utilised as versatile building blocks to construct novel near-infrared photochromic materials.

Abstract
The development of two-photon induced photochromic compounds is important for advanced photoresponsive materials. The utilization of the long-lived transient states or species for two-photon absorption is one of the efficient strategies to realize the advanced photochemical behavior beyond a one-photon photochemical reaction. We have synthesized bi-photochromic compounds composed of two photochromic phenoxyl-imidazolyl radical complex units. The biphotochromic compounds generate two biradical units when the two photochromic units absorb photons with a stepwise manner. The interaction between the two biradicals through the central bridging phenyl ring is the key feature to control the stepwise photochromic reaction. Here, we introduced aromatic spacers in order to modulate the distance and the dihedral angle between the biradical units. The color and the rate of the thermal back reaction of the stepwise photochromism can be regulated by the control of the central bridging part. These results give important insights to develop desirable advanced photoresponsive compounds.

Abstract
Research on photochromic molecules switched by visible light is of particular interest for their application in bioimaging and stimuli-responsive materials. Here, a photoswitchable supramolecular assembly comprised of monocharged bispyridinium-modified diarylethenes (DAEs) and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) has been constructed, which exhibits reversible photochromic behaviour with visible light in both directions. The transformation of CB[8] not only prompts the DAEs to form charge-transfer complexes, but also restricts its intramolecular rotation to enhance fluorescence emission. In this CB[8]-containing supramolecular system, the π-conjugation is extended and its absorption is bathochromically shifted for visible light-driven cyclization of DAEs. Meanwhile, the fluorescence of the supramolecular assembly can also be reversibly modulated by visible light. These findings may furnish a new strategy for the development of visible light-driven fluorescent biomaterials and molecular machines.

Abstract
Intramolecularly bridged diarylethenes exhibit improved photocyclization quantum yields because the anti-syn isomerization that originally suppresses photocyclization in classical diarylethenes is blocked. Experimentally, three possible channels have been proposed to interpret experimental observation, but many details of photochromic mechanism remain ambiguous. In this work we have employed a series of electronic structure methods (OM2/MRCI, DFT, TDDFT, RI-CC2, DFT/MRCI, and CASPT2) to comprehensively study excited state properties, photocyclization, and photoreversion dynamics of 1,2-dicyano[2,2]metacyclophan-1-ene. On the basis of optimized stationary points and minimum-energy conical intersections, we have refined experimentally proposed photochromic mechanism. Only an S1/S0 minimum-energy conical intersection is located; thus, we can exclude the third channel experimentally proposed. In addition, we find that both photocyclization and photoreversion processes use the same S1/S0 conical intersection to decay the S1 system to the S0 state, so we can unify the remaining two channels into one. These new insights are verified by our OM2/MRCI nonadiabatic dynamics simulations. The S1 excited-state lifetimes of photocyclization and photoreversion are estimated to be 349 and 453 fs, respectively, which are close to experimentally measured values: 240 ± 60 and 250 fs in acetonitrile solution. The present study not only interprets experimental observations and refines previously proposed mechanism but also provides new physical insights that are valuable for future experiments.

Abstract
One source of efficiency losses in photovoltaic cells is their transparency toward solar photons with energies below the band gap of the absorbing layer. This loss can be reduced using a process of up-conversion whereby two or more sub-band-gap photons generate a single above-gap exciton. Traditional approaches to up-conversion, such as nonlinear two-photon absorption (2PA) or triplet fusion, suffer from low efficiency at solar light intensities, a narrow absorption bandwidth, nonoptimal absorption energies, and difficulties for implementing in practical devices. Here we show that these deficiencies can be alleviated using the effect of Auger up-conversion in thick-shell PbSe/CdSe quantum dots. This process relies on Auger recombination whereby two low-energy, core-based excitons are converted into a single higher-energy, shell-based exciton. Compared to their monocomponent counterparts, the tailored PbSe/CdSe heterostructures feature enhanced absorption cross-sections, a higher efficiency of the "productive" Auger pathway involving re-excitation of a hole, and longer lifetimes of both core- and shell-localized excitons. These features lead to effective up-conversion cross-sections that are more than 6 orders of magnitude higher than for standard nonlinear 2PA, which allows for efficient up-conversion of continuous wave infrared light at intensities as low as a few watts per square centimeter.

Abstract
There has been a growing interest toward the development of advanced photofunctional materials whose photoresponses involve multiple photons and molecules because these materials show the photoresponses which cannot be achieved by a one-photon reaction of a single chromophore. These cooperative interactions of multiple photons and molecules are recently termed as the "photosynergetic" effects, and the understanding and utilization of these effects are becoming important research topics. In this Perspective, we overview the recent progress of the fast T-type photochromic molecules involving the stepwise two-photon absorption processes. Although high power pulse lasers were necessary to induce conventional simultaneous and stepwise two-photon absorption processes, the stepwise two-photon absorption process with the fast photochromic compound can be initiated by extremely weak continuous wave (CW) LEDs. The basic concept and future outlook of the fast photochromism involving the stepwise two-photon absorption process will be discussed.

Abstract
The ability to influence key properties of molecular systems by using light holds much promise for the fields of materials science and life sciences. The cornerstone of such systems is molecules that are able to reversibly photoisomerize between two states, commonly referred to as photoswitches. One serious restriction to the development of functional photodynamic systems is the necessity to trigger switching in at least one direction by UV light, which is often damaging and penetrates only partially through most media. This review provides a summary of the different conceptual strategies for addressing molecular switches in the visible and near-infrared regions of the optical spectrum. Such visible-light-activated molecular switches tremendously extend the scope of photoswitchable systems for future applications and technologies.

Abstract
When adding two azobenzene chromophores on a dithienylethene molecule, the irradiation at 450 nm can effectively arouse the cycloreversion reaction of the ring-closed dithienylethene. We investigated the frontier molecular orbitals and absorption properties of such series of molecules and inferred the mechanism of the ring-opening reaction. The 450 nm light sensed by the side azobenzene groups can excite the whole molecule to a high excited state, and through electronic transition and energy transfer the active electron may centre on the dithienylethene ring part, then the ring-opening happens. While for the ring-open form, the energy of the 450 nm light is not high enough to promote the electron to the exact molecular orbital occupying the central dithienylethene ring, so it cannot cause the ring-closing reaction.

Abstract
Dithienylethene (DTE)-2,6-diiodoBodipy triads were prepared with the aim to photoswitch the triplet excited state of the 2,6-diiodoBodipy moiety. Bodipy was selected due to its low T1 state energy level to avoid sensitized photocyclization of DTE, which is very often encountered in DTE photoswitches, so that the photochemistry of DTE and the organic chromophore can be addressed independently. This is the first time that DTE was covalently connected with an organic triplet photosensitizer. For the triad with DTE-o structure, selective photoexcitation into the diiodoBodipy part did not initiate photocyclization of DTE-o. Upon photoirradiation at 254 nm, thus the DTE-o → DTE-c transformation, the intersystem crossing (ISC) of 2,6-diiodoBodipy moiety was competed by the photoactivated resonance energy transfer (RET), with Bodipy as the intramolecular energy donor and DTE-c as energy acceptor. The fluorescence of Bodipy was quenched and the triplet state lifetime of Bodipy was reduced from 105.1 to 40.9 μs. The photoreversion is O2-independent, but can be greatly accelerated upon selective photoexcitation into the diiodoBodipy absorption band (at 535 nm). We concluded that ISC is not outcompeted by RET. The photoswitching of the triplet state was transduced to the singlet oxygen photosensitizing, as well as triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion.
