Abstract
Click chemistry has reached its maturity as the weapon of choice for the irreversible ligation of molecular fragments, with over 20 years of research resulting in the development or improvement of highly efficient kinetically controlled conjugation reactions. Nevertheless, traditional click reactions can be disadvantageous not only in terms of efficiency (side products, slow kinetics, air/water tolerance, etc.), but also because they completely avoid the possibility to reversibly produce and control bound/unbound states. Recently, non-covalent click chemistry has appeared as a more efficient alternative, in particular by using host-guest self-assembled systems of high thermodynamic stability and kinetic lability. This review discusses the implementation of molecular switches in the development of such non-covalent ligation processes, resulting in what we have termed stimuli-responsive click chemistry, in which the bound/unbound constitutional states of the system can be favored by external stimulation, in particular using host-guest complexes. As we exemplify with handpicked selected examples, these supramolecular systems are well suited for the development of human-controlled molecular conjugation, by coupling thermodynamically regulated processes with appropriate temporally resolved extrinsic control mechanisms, thus mimicking nature and advancing our efforts to develop a more function-oriented chemical synthesis.

Abstract
The concept of a molecular nanovalve is applied to a synthesized biocompatible hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF), termed RSS-140, to load, trap, and subsequently release an antioxidant on command. Specifically, we exploit the pore windows of RSS-140 (i.e., β-CD cavities) to first load and trap the antioxidant, Trolox, within the internal pores of the HOF (Trolox⊂RSS-140) and, to prevent it from leaching, utilize supramolecular chemistry to complex azobenzene (Azo) with β-CD (Trolox⊂Azo@RSS-140). The molecular nanovalve is fully realized upon exposing Trolox⊂Azo@RSS-140 to UV light with a specific wavelength, which induces Azo isomerization, Azo decomplexation from β-CD, and subsequent release of Trolox from the pores of RSS-140. The biocompatibility and nontoxicity of Trolox⊂Azo@RSS-140, together with the absolute control over the nanovalve opening, were established to yield a system that safely and slowly releases Trolox for longer-lasting antioxidant efficacy. As the field of supramolecular chemistry is rich with similar systems and many such systems can be used as building blocks to construct HOFs or other extended framework materials, we envision the molecular nanovalve concept to be applied widely for controllably delivering molecular cargo for diverse applications.

Abstract
Azoheteroarenes are emerging as powerful alternatives to azobenzene molecular photoswitches. In this study, water-soluble arylazoisoxazole photoswitches are introduced. UV/vis and NMR spectroscopy revealed moderate to very good photostationary states and reversible photoisomerization between the E- and Z-isomers over multiple cycles with minimal photobleaching. Several arylazoisoxazoles form host-guest complexes with β- and γ-cyclodextrin with significant differences in binding constants for each photoisomer as shown by isothermal titration calorimetry and NMR experiments, indicating their potential for photoresponsive host-guest chemistry in water. One carboxylic acid functionalized arylazoisoxazole can act as a hydrogelator, allowing gel properties to be manipulated reversibly with light. The hydrogel was characterized by rheological experiments, atom force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. These results demonstrate that arylazoisoxazoles can find applications as molecular photoswitches in aqueous media.

Abstract
Porous silica coated gold nanorod core-shell structures demonstrate a multifunctional role in bioimaging, drug delivery, and cancer therapeutics applications. Here, we address a new approach for effective distribution of gold nanorods (GNRs) in a mesoporous silica (MS) shell, viz., one nanorod in one silica particle (GMS). We have studied that silica coating presents major advantages for the better biocompatibility and stability of GNRs. In this study, two different thicknesses of silica shell over GNRs have been discussed as per the application's need; GNRs in thin silica (11 nm) are fit for phototherapy and bioimaging, whereas thick and porous silica (51 nm) coated gold nanorods are suitable for triggered drug delivery and theranostics. However, effective distribution of GNRs in ordered architecture of thick mesoporous silica (MS, more than 50 nm thickness) with high surface area (more than 1000 m2/g) is not well understood so far. Here, we present methodical investigations for uniform and highly ordered mesoporous silica coating over GNRs with tunable thickness (6 to 51 nm). Judicious identification and optimization of different reaction parameters like concentrations of silica precursor (TEOS, 1.85-43.9 mM), template (CTAB, 0.9-5.7 mM), effect of temperature, pH (8.6-10.8), stirring speed (100-400 rpm), and, most importantly, the mode of addition of TEOS with GNRs have been discussed. Studies with thick, porous silica coated GNRs simplify the highest ever reported surface area (1100 m2/g) and cargo capacity (57%) with better product yield (g/batch). First and foremost, we report a highly scalable (more than 500 mL) and rapid direct deposition of an ordered MS shell around GNRs. These engineered core-shell nanoparticles demonstrate X-ray contrast property, synergistic photothermal-chemotherapeutics, and imaging of tumor cell (96% cell death) due to released fluorescent anticancer drug molecules and photothermal effect (52 °C) of embedded GNRs. A deeper insight into their influence on the architectural features and superior theranostics performances has been illustrated in detail. Hence, these findings indicate the potential impact of individual GMS for image guided combination therapeutics of cancer.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Construction of dual gatekeepers-functionalized mesoporous organic silica nanoparticles (MONs) with both physical and chemical mechanisms for modulated drug delivery properties provides one solution to the extracellular stability vs. intracellular high therapeutic efficiency of MONs that hold great potential for clinical translations. EXPERIMENTS We reported herein facile construction of diselenium-bridged MONs decorated with dual gatekeepers, i.e., azobenzene (Azo)/polydopamine (PDA) for both physical and chemical modulated drug delivery properties. Specifically, Azo can act as a physical barrier to block DOX in the mesoporous structure of MONs for extracellular safe encapsulation. The PDA outer corona serves not only as a chemical barrier with acidic pH-modulated permeability for double insurance of minimized DOX leakage in the extracellular blood circulation but also for inducing a PTT effect for synergistic PTT and chemotherapy of breast cancer. FINDINGS An optimized formulation, DOX@(MONs-Azo3)@PDA resulted in approximately 1.5 and 2.4 fold lower IC50 values than DOX@(MONs-Azo3) and (MONs-Azo3)@PDA controls in MCF-7 cells, respectively, and further mediated complete tumor eradication in 4T1 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice with insignificant systematic toxicity due to the synergistic PTT and chemotherapy with enhanced therapeutic efficiency.

Abstract
Phytopathogen, pest, weed, and nutrient deficiency cause severe losses to global crop yields every year. As the core engine, agrochemicals drive the continuous development of modern agriculture to meet the demand for agricultural productivity and increase the environmental burden due to inefficient use. With new advances in nanotechnology, introducing nanomaterials into agriculture to realize agrochemical accurate and targeted delivery has brought new opportunities to support the sustainable development of green agriculture. Metal-Organic frameworks (MOFs), which weave metal ions/clusters and organic ligands into porous frameworks, have exhibited significant advantages in constructing biotic/abiotic stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms for controlled agrochemical delivery. This review emphasizes the recent developments of MOF-based nanoplatforms for crop protection, including phytopathogen, pest, and weed control, and crop growth promotion, including fertilizer/plant hormone delivery. Finally, forward-looking perspectives and challenges on MOF-based nanoplatforms for future applications in crop protection and growth promotion are also discussed.

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
Cancer is the second cause of human mortality after cardiovascular disease around the globe. Conventional cancer therapies are chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. In fact, due to the lack of absolute specificity and high drug concentrations, early recognition and treatment of cancer with conventional approaches have become challenging issues in the world. To mitigate against the limitations of conventional cancer chemotherapy, nanomaterials have been developed. Nanomaterials exhibit particular properties that can overcome the drawbacks of conventional therapies such as lack of specificity, high drug concentrations, and adverse drug reactions. Among nanocarriers, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have gained increasing attention due to their well-defined pore size and structure, high surface area, good biocompatibility and biodegradability, ease of surface modification, and stable aqueous dispersions. This review highlights the current progress with the use of MSNs for the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Various stimuli-responsive gatekeepers, which endow the MSNs with on-demand drug delivery, surface modification strategies for targeting purposes, and multifunctional MSNs utilized in drug delivery systems (DDSs) are also addressed. Also, the capability of MSNs as flexible imaging platforms is considered. In addition, physicochemical attributes of MSNs and their effects on cancer therapy with a particular focus on recent studies is emphasized. Moreover, major challenges to the use of MSNs for cancer therapy, biosafety and cytotoxicity aspects of MSNs are discussed.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have great potential for applications as a drug delivery system (DDS) due to their unique properties such as large pore size, high surface area, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and stable aqueous dispersion. The MSN-mediated DDS can carry chemotherapeutic agents, optical sensors, photothermal agents, short interfering RNA (siRNA), and gene therapeutic agents. The MSN-assisted imaging techniques are applicable in cancer diagnosis. However, their synthesis via a chemical route requires toxic chemicals and is challenging, time-consuming, and energy-intensive, making the process expensive and non-viable. Fortunately, nature has provided a viable alternative material in the form of biosilica from marine resources. In this review, the applications of biosilica nanoparticles synthesized from marine diatoms in the field of drug delivery, biosensing, imaging agents, and regenerative medicine, are highlighted. Insights into the use of biosilica in the field of DDSs are elaborated, with a focus on different strategies to improve the physico-chemical properties with regards to drug loading and release efficiency, targeted delivery, and site-specific binding capacity by surface functionalization. The limitations, as well as the future scope to develop them as potential drug delivery vehicles and imaging agents, in the overall therapeutic management, are discussed.

Abstract
The present review details a chronological description of the events that took place during the development of mesoporous materials, their different synthetic routes and their use as drug delivery systems. The outstanding textural properties of these materials quickly inspired their translation to the nanoscale dimension leading to mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The different aspects of introducing pharmaceutical agents into the pores of these nanocarriers, together with their possible biodistribution and clearance routes, would be described here. The development of smart nanocarriers that are able to release a high local concentration of the therapeutic cargo on-demand after the application of certain stimuli would be reviewed here, together with their ability to deliver the therapeutic cargo to precise locations in the body. The huge progress in the design and development of MSNs for biomedical applications, including the potential treatment of different diseases, during the last 20 years will be collated here, together with the required work that still needs to be done to achieve the clinical translation of these materials. This review was conceived to stand out from past reports since it aims to tell the story of the development of mesoporous materials and their use as drug delivery systems by some of the story makers, who could be considered to be among the pioneers in this area.

Abstract
A new chemistry of azo compounds, that is, addition of free radicals generated in situ to access various acyl hydrazides, has been developed. The protocol provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of valuable acyl hydrazides. The transformation features mild reaction conditions, good tolerance of functional groups, and a broad substrate scope. In view of the importance of acyl hydrazides in functional materials and medicinal chemistry, this approach would find broad applications.

Abstract
The high spatiotemporal resolution of light as an external stimulus allows the control of shape, mechanical properties, and even forces generated by photoresponsive soft materials. For this purpose, supramolecular systems that respond readily and reversibly to photoirradiation and convert microscopic changes into macroscopic effects are needed. This work demonstrates the reversible light-responsive modulation of the osmotic pressure of an aqueous solution of an azobenzene-containing polymer (azopolymer) and α-cyclodextrin. Osmometry shows that this multivalent and photoresponsive host-guest complex can be used to modulate the concentration of solutes in the solution. Upon alternating irradiation with UV and blue light, the osmolality is reversibly switched by 28 mOsm kg-1. The switching amplitude increases linearly with the concentration of azopolymer and cyclodextrin. This drastic change in osmotic pressure is achieved by carefully designing an azopolymer that provides multivalent interactions as well as high water solubility. In this way, our study demonstrates a tunable control of colligative properties by photoinduced modulation of supramolecular interactions.

Abstract
Adsorptive separation plays a critical role in chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and environmental industries, as well as in many other industrial areas. Adsorbents are most important for adsorptive separation and undergo adsorption and desorption processes to accomplish the specific tasks of separation. In the process of adsorption, adsorbates diffuse into the pore spaces of adsorbents through pore openings, adsorb on active sites via physical or chemical interactions, and subsequently are regenerated by temperature or pressure swings during desorption. In the process of adsorption and desorption, however, the requirements for pore structures and surface properties of adsorbents are different. In general, adsorbents with small pore openings can realize selective adsorption and do not favor desorption; on the other hand, adsorbents with large pore openings are efficient in desorption but at the expense of adsorption selectivity. Remarkably, active sites possessing strong interactions with adsorbates contribute to high selectivity for adsorption, while desorption becomes difficult. The trade-off between adsorption and desorption presents an enormous challenge to develop high-efficiency adsorbents. Restricted by their fixed structures and surface properties, conventional adsorbents are unable to meet the demands of adsorption and desorption processes simultaneously.To confront the obstacles, the development of advanced adsorbents to meet the demand of adsorptive separation are urgent. A key strategy to address such issues lies in dynamically adjusting the pore structures or the surface properties of adsorbents with controllability according to the demands of adsorption/desorption. For instance, pursuant to the requirements of varying pore structures during adsorption/desorption, the pore openings of adsorbents can be customized through dynamic structural change of the decorated stimuli-sensitive motifs by suitable external intervention. In addition, the active sites within the adsorbents can be exposed to enhance the adsorption selectivity or sheltered to accelerate the desorption through stimuli-triggered adsorbent-adsorbate interactions. Hence, we proposed a concept of process-oriented smart adsorbents (POSAs) on the basis of the requirements of the adsorption/desorption processes. The design and development of such POSAs are based on three aspects, namely, pore openings, pore spaces, and adsorption sites of adsorbents.In this Account, we present the progress in the development of POSAs according to the demands of adsorption/desorption processes. A series of POSAs with incorporated stimuli-sensitive motifs were successfully achieved. The versatility of incorporated motifs allows them to tune the pore structures and surface properties of adsorbents dynamically and further to enhance the adsorption and desorption efficiency simultaneously. Based on the concept of POSAs, we hope that this Account could contribute to the development of high-efficiency adsorbents and ultimately promote their applications in practical industrial separation. Moreover, we present an outlook on future trends and challenges on the road toward the development and applications of POSAs.

Abstract
We synthesize and characterize a triblock polymer with asymmetric tetramethoxyazobenzene (TMAB) and β-cyclodextrin functionalization, taking advantage of the well-characterized azobenzene derivative-cyclodextrin inclusion complex to promote photoresponsive, self-contained folding of the polymer in an aqueous system. We use 1H NMR to show the reversibility of (E)-to-(Z) and (Z)-to-(E) TMAB photoisomerization, and evaluate the thermal stability of (Z)-TMAB and the comparatively rapid acid-catalyzed thermal (Z)-to-(E) isomerization. Important for its potential use as a functional material, we show the photoisomerization cyclability of the polymeric TMAB chromophore and calculate isomerization quantum yields by extinction spectroscopy. To verify self-inclusion of the polymeric TMAB and cyclodextrin, we use two-dimensional 1H NOESY NMR data to show proximity of TMAB and cyclodextrin in the (E)-state only; however, (Z)-TMAB is not locally correlated with cyclodextrin. Finally, the observed decrease in photoisomerization quantum yield for the dual-functionalized polymer compared to the isolated chromophore in an aqueous solution confirms TMAB and β-cyclodextrin not only are in proximity to one another, but also form the inclusion complex.

Abstract
A novel hybrid drug carrier has been designed, taking N-doped mesoporous carbon (NMCS) as the core and PEG-PEI as the outer shell. NMCS was functionalized with a photocleavable nitrobenzyl-based linker following a click reaction. Gemcitabine was loaded into NMCS prior to the functionalization via π-π stacking interactions. NIR and the pH-responsive behavior of NMCS-linker-PEG-PEI bestow the multifunctional drug carrier with the controlled release of gemcitabine triggered by dual stimuli. The NMCS core upconverts NIR light to UV, which is absorbed by a photosensitive molecular gate and results in its cleavage and drug release. Further, NMCS converts NIR to heat, which deforms the outside polymer shell, thus triggering the drug release process. The release can be promptly arrested if the NIR source is switched off. A promising gemcitabine release of 75% has been achieved within 24 h under the dual stimuli of pH and temperature. NMCS-linker-PEG-PEI produced reactive oxygen species (ROS), which were verified in FaDu cells using flow cytometry. In vitro experiments showed that the NMCS-linker-PEG-PEI-GEM hybrid particle can induce synergistic therapeutic effects in FADU cells when exposed to the NIR light.

Abstract
Three distinct four-component supramolecular nanorotors were prepared, using, for the first time, bipyridine instead of phenanthroline stations in the stator. Following our established self-sorting protocol to multicomponent nanodevices, the nanorotors were self-assembled by mixing the stator, rotators with various pyridine head groups, copper(I) ions and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). Whereas the exchange of a phenanthroline vs. a bipyridine station did not entail significant changes in the rotational exchange frequency, the para-substituents at the pyridine head group of the rotator had drastic consequences on the speed: 4-OMe (k298 = 35 kHz), 4-H (k298 = 77 kHz) and 4-NO2 (k298 = 843 kHz). The exchange frequency (log k) showed an excellent linear correlation with both the Hammett substituent constants and log K of the copper(I)–ligand interaction, proving that rotator–copper(I) bond cleavage is the key determining factor in the rate-determining step.

Abstract
Natural prodrugs derived from different natural origins (e.g., medicinal plants, microbes, animals) have a long history in traditional medicine. They exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities, including anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo. They have potential as safe, cost-effective treatments with few side effects, but are lacking in solubility, bioavailability, specific targeting and have short half-lives. These are barriers to clinical application. Nanomedicine has the potential to offer solutions to circumvent these limitations and allow the use of natural pro-drugs in cancer therapy. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) of various morphology have attracted considerable attention in the search for targeted drug delivery systems. MSNs are characterized by chemical stability, easy synthesis and functionalization, large surface area, tunable pore sizes and volumes, good biocompatibility, controlled drug release under different conditions, and high drug-loading capacity, enabling multifunctional purposes. In vivo pre-clinical evaluations, a significant majority of results indicate the safety profile of MSNs if they are synthesized in an optimized way. Here, we present an overview of synthesis methods, possible surface functionalization, cellular uptake, biodistribution, toxicity, loading strategies, delivery designs with controlled release, and cancer targeting and discuss the future of anticancer nanotechnology-based natural prodrug delivery systems.

Abstract
To date, numerous drug delivery systems based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been explored, but little has been done on optimizing the structure and composition of MSNs to achieve effective drug delivery for cancer cells. Ideal mesoporous drug carriers should incorporate drugs in a way that prevents pre-release in biological surroundings before reaching the targeted area, which usually requires the capping of the open ends on the surface and the incorporation of targeting ligands on the exterior of nanocarriers. In this study, an MSN-based drug carrier system was synthesized with biocompatible Au nanoparticles (NPs) as the 'hard caps', and folic acid conjugated to the surface for targeting folate receptor-overexpressed cancer cells. Disulfide bonds linking Au and MSN NPs were introduced to the MSN surface as the redox-sensitive and chemically removable components. To study the effect of structures of MSNs in drug release, three types of MSNs were compared, including hollow mesoporous silica NPs, large-pore hollow mesoporous silica NPs and typical nano-sized pores on the surface (MSN). To achieve optimal coverage of thiol groups, two methods of functionalization were compared in effecting drug loading and release in vitro. Finally, the effect of residual surfactant was also discussed in anticancer studies. Therefore, the appropriate MSN nanostructure for redox-sensitive and targeted drug delivery was optimized.

Abstract
Here, we introduce a nanophotonics concept for optically triggered activation of microglia. Specifically, we synthesized a yolk-shell structured mesoporous silica coated core-shell upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP@ysSiO2). The nanoparticles are loaded with microglia activators-bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) together with indocyanine green (ICG), and then capped with β-cyclodextrin (CD) via selective affinity of this compound to photoswitchable azobenzene (Azo). Upon exposure to NIR light, and subsequent trans- to cis photoisomerization of the Azo group induced by the upconversion light, dissociation of β-CD produces the release of LPS. The released LPS activates microglia through a toll-like receptor 4 mediated pathway, while ICG excited by its absorption of the 800 nm upconversion light, produces local heating, thus synergistically activating microglia through heat shock proteins. We propose that the controlled activation of microglia with deep tissue penetrating NIR triggered drug release, may provide a new strategy for in situ treatment of many brain diseases.

Abstract
The presence of leaky vasculature and the lack of lymphatic drainage of small structures by the solid tumors formulate nanoparticles as promising delivery vehicles in cancer therapy. In particular, among various nanoparticles, the mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) exhibit numerous outstanding features, including mechanical thermal and chemical stability, huge surface area and ordered porous interior to store different anti-cancer therapeutics with high loading capacity and tunable release mechanisms. Furthermore, one can easily decorate the surface of MSN by attaching ligands for active targeting specifically to the cancer region exploiting overexpressed receptors. The controlled release of drugs to the disease site without any leakage to healthy tissues can be achieved by employing environment responsive gatekeepers for the end-capping of MSN. To achieve precise cancer chemotherapy, the most desired delivery system should possess high loading efficiency, site-specificity and capacity of controlled release. In this review we will focus on multimodal decorations of MSN, which is the most demanding ongoing approach related to MSN application in cancer therapy. Herein, we will report about the recently tried efforts for multimodal modifications of MSN, exploiting both the active targeting and stimuli responsive behavior simultaneously, along with individual targeted delivery and stimuli responsive cancer therapy using MSN.

Abstract
The adsorbents for water treatment and purification are commonly not recyclable because of the lack of a reagent-less "switch" to readily release the adsorbed compounds. Herein, the interface of Bi2O2CO3 (BOC) nanosheets is designed, synthesized, and modified with citric acid, namely, modified Bi2O2CO3 (m-BOC). The m-BOC is able to selectively adsorb methylene blue (MB) in the dark and the adsorbed MB could be released in the light from m-BOC without the addition of any chemicals. The adsorption mechanism is attributed to the electrostatic attraction between positively charged MB and the negatively charged surface of m-BOC. In contrast, the desorption of MB has resulted from the photo-induced charge redistribution on the surface of m-BOC, which unlocks the coordination bond between m-BOC and the carboxylic group. As a result, BOC is recycled. Such a mechanism was verified by both experimental investigation and DFT calculation. This work provides a promising interfacial engineering strategy for the remediation of dye-polluted water and smart separation in chemical engineering.

Abstract
In this Review, we showcase the upsurge in the development and fundamental photophysical studies of more than 100 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as versatile stimuli-responsive platforms. The goal is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the field of photoresponsive MOFs while delving into the underlying photophysical properties of various classes of photochromic molecules including diarylethene, azobenzene, and spiropyran as well as naphthalenediimide and viologen derivatives integrated inside a MOF matrix as part of a framework backbone, as a ligand side group, or as a guest. In particular, the geometrical constraints, photoisomerization rates, and electronic structures of photochromic molecules integrated inside a rigid MOF scaffold are discussed. Thus, this Review reflects on the challenges and opportunities of using photoswitchable MOFs in next-generation multifunctional stimuli-responsive materials while highlighting their use in optoelectronics, erasable inks, or as the next generation of sensing devices.

Abstract
Hybrid materials based on Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSN) have attracted plentiful attention due to the versatility of their chemistry, and the field of Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) is not an exception. MSN present desirable biocompatibility, high surface area values, and a well-studied surface reactivity for tailoring a vast diversity of chemical moieties. Particularly important for DDS applications is the use of external stimuli for drug release. In this context, light is an exceptional alternative due to its high degree of spatiotemporal precision and non-invasive character, and a large number of promising DDS based on photoswitchable properties of azobenzenes have been recently reported. This review covers the recent advances in design of DDS using light as an external stimulus mostly based on literature published within last years with an emphasis on usually overlooked underlying chemistry, photophysical properties, and supramolecular complexation of azobenzenes.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are delivery vehicles that can carry cargo molecules and release them on command. The particles used in the applications reported in this Account are around 100 nm in diameter (about the size of a virus) and contain 2.5 nm tubular pores with a total volume of about 1 cm3/g. For the biomedical applications discussed here, the cargo is trapped in the pores until the particles are stimulated to release it. The challenges are to get the particles to the site of a disease and then to deliver the cargo on command. We describe methods to do both, and we illustrate the applicability of the particles to cure cancer and intracellular infectious disease. Our first steps were to design multifunctional nanoparticles with properties that allow them to carry and deliver hydrophobic drugs. Many important pharmaceuticals are hydrophobic and cannot reach the diseased sites by themselves. We describe how we modified MSNs to make them dispersible, imagable, and targetable and discuss in vitro studies. We then present examples of surface modifications that allow them to deliver large molecules such as siRNA. In vivo studies of siRNA delivery to treat triple-negative breast and ovarian cancers are presented. The next steps are to attach nanomachines and other types of caps that trap drug molecules but release them when stimulated. We describe nanomachines that respond autonomously (without human intervention) to stimuli specific to disease sites. A versatile type of machine is a nanovalve that is closed at neutral (blood) pH but opens upon acidification that occurs in endolysosomes of cancer cells. Another type of machine, a snap-top cap, is stimulated by reducing agents such as glutathione in the cytosol of cells. Both of these platforms were studied in vitro to deliver antibiotics to infected macrophages and in vivo to cure and kill the intracellular bacteria M. tuberculosis and F. tularensis. The latter is a tier 1 select agent of bioterrorism. Finally, we describe nanomachines for drug delivery that are controlled by externally administered light and magnetic fields. A futuristic dream for nanotherapy is the ability to control a nano-object everywhere in the body. Magnetic fields penetrate completely and have spatial selectivity governed by the size of the field-producing coil. We describe how to control nanovalves with alternating magnetic fields (AMFs) and superparamagnetic cores inside the MSNs. The AMF heats the cores, and temperature-sensitive caps release the cargo. In vitro studies demonstrate dose control of the therapeutic to cause apoptosis without overheating the cells. Nanocarriers have great promise for therapeutic applications, and MSNs that can carry drugs to the site of a disease to produce a high local concentration without premature release and off-target damage may have the capability of realizing this goal.

Abstract
Major objectives in nanomedicine and nanotherapy include the ability to trap therapeutic molecules inside of nano-carriers, carry therapeutics to the site of the disease with no leakage, release high local concentrations of drug, release only on demand - either autonomous or external, and kill the cancer cells or an infectious organism. This review will focus on mesoporous silica nanoparticle carriers (MSN) with a large internal pore volume suitable for carrying anticancer and antibiotic drugs, and supramolecular components that function as caps that can both trap and release the drugs on-command. Caps that are especially relevant to this review are rotaxanes and pseudorotaxanes that consist of a long chain-like molecule threaded through a cyclic molecule. Under certain conditions discussed throughout this review, the cyclic molecule can be attracted to one end of the rotaxane and in the presence of a stimulus can slide to the other end. When the thread is attached near the pore opening on MSNs, the sliding cyclic molecule can block the pore when it is near the particle or open it when it slides away. The design, synthesis and operation of supramolecular systems that act as stimuli-responsive pore capping devices that trap and release molecules for therapeutic or imaging applications are discussed. Uncapping can either be irreversible because the cap comes off, or reversible when the cyclic molecule is prevented from sliding off by a steric barrier. In the latter case the amount of cargo released (the dose) can be controlled. These nanomachines act as valves. Examples of supramolecular systems stimulated by chemical signals (pH, redox, enzymes, antibodies) or by external physical signals (light, heat, magnetism, ultrasound) are presented. Many of the systems have been studied in vitro proving that they are taken up by cancer cells and release drugs and kill the cells when stimulated. Some have been studied in mouse models; after IV injection they shrink tumors or kill intracellular pathogens after stimulation. Supramolecular constructs offer fascinating, highly controllable and biologically compatible platforms for drug delivery.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) displays interesting properties for biomedical applications such as high chemical stability, large surface area and tunable pores diameters and volumes, allowing the incorporation of large amounts of drugs, protecting them from deactivation and degradation processes acting as an excellent nanoplatform for drug delivery. However, the functional MSNs do not present the ability to transport the therapeutics without any leakage until reach the targeted cells causing side effects. On the other hand, the hydroxyls groups available on MSNs surface allows the conjugation of specific molecules which can binds to the overexpressed Enhanced Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in many tumors, representing a potential strategy for the cancer treatment. Beyond that, the targeting molecules conjugate onto mesoporous surface increase its cell internalization and act as gatekeepers blocking the mesopores controlling the drug release. In this context, multifunctional MSNs emerge as stimuli-responsive controlled drug delivery systems (CDDS) to overcome drawbacks as low internalization, premature release before to reach the region of interest, several side effects and low effectiveness of the current treatments. This review presents an overview of MSNs fabrication methods and its properties that affects drug delivery as well as stimuli-responsive CDDS for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Systems that are intelligent have the ability to sense their surroundings, analyze, and respond accordingly. In nature, many biological systems are considered intelligent (e.g., humans, animals, and cells). For man-made systems, artificial intelligence is achieved by massively sophisticated electronic machines (e.g., computers and robots operated by advanced algorithms). On the other hand, freestanding materials (i.e., not tethered to a power supply) are usually passive and static. Hence, herein, the question is asked: can materials be fabricated so that they are intelligent? One promising approach is to use stimuli-responsive materials; these "smart" materials use the energy supplied by a stimulus available from the surrounding for performing a corresponding action. After decades of research, many interesting stimuli-responsive materials that can sense and perform smart functions have been developed. Classes of functions discussed include practical functions (e.g., targeting and motion), regulatory functions (e.g., self-regulation and amplification), and analytical processing functions (e.g., memory and computing). The pathway toward creating truly intelligent materials can involve incorporating a combination of these different types of functions into a single integrated system by using stimuli-responsive materials as the basic building blocks.

Abstract
Nanotechnology, which has already revolutionised many technological areas, is expected to transform life sciences. In this sense, nanomedicine could address some of the most important limitations of conventional medicine. In general, nanomedicine includes three major objectives: (1) trap and protect a great amount of therapeutic agents; (2) carry them to the specific site of disease avoiding any leakage; and (3) release on-demand high local concentrations of therapeutic agents. This feature article will make special emphasis on mesoporous silica nanoparticles that release their therapeutic cargo in response to ultrasound.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) covered by polymer coatings, cross-linked by weak coordination bonds were expected to present a reversible responsiveness under on-off ultrasound stimuli. Herein, we prepared a sodium alginate (SA) modified MSN with carboxyl-calcium (COO--Ca2+) coordination bonds in the modified layer, which could block the mesopores of MSN and effectively prevent the cargo from pre-releasing before stimulation. The coordination bonds would be destroyed under the stimulation of low intensity ultrasound (20 kHz) or high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU, 1.1 MHz), leading to a rapid and significant cargo release, and then they could be reformed when ultrasound was turned off, resulting in an instant cargo release stopping. The reversible cleavage and reformation of this coordination bonds under on-off ultrasound stimulus were confirmed by the gel-sol transition behaviors of the SA-CaCl2 gels. An excellent real-time control of rhodamine B (RhB) release performance was obtained under the ultrasound stimuli. Obviously, the cargo release ratio could reach to nearly 40% when HIFU (80 W) was turned on for 5 min, and remained basically constant when ultrasound was turned off, which would finally reach to nearly 100% within 30 min under this on-off pulsatile status. These hybrid MSN based nanoparticles with excellent reversible ultrasound on-off responsiveness were of great interest in on-demand drug delivery applications in the future.
