Abstract
Confining molecules and ions at a specific position in a solution enables the control of chemical reactions and analysis of tiny amounts of substances. Here, we demonstrate local condensation of a temperature responsive ionic liquid using optical tweezers. Two kinds of microdroplets are prepared through phase separation or nanocluster formation under irradiation of a near-infrared laser beam. The droplet formation mechanism is discussed in view of the evolution of an optical potential well and the local temperature distribution.

Abstract
Many chemical and biological processes involve phase separation; however, controlling this is challenging. Here, we demonstrate local phase separation using optical tweezers in a thermo-responsive ionic liquid/water solution. Upon near-infrared laser irradiation, a single droplet is formed at the focal spot. The droplet has a core consisting of highly concentrated ionic liquid. The mechanism of the core-shell droplet formation is discussed in view of the spatial distribution of optical and thermal potentials.

Abstract
When an intense 1,064-nm continuous-wave laser is tightly focused at solution surfaces, it exerts an optical force on molecules, polymers, and nanoparticles (NPs). Initially, molecules and NPs are gathered into a single assembly inside the focus, and the laser is scattered and propagated through the assembly. The expanded laser further traps them at the edge of the assembly, producing a single assembly much larger than the focus along the surface. Amino acids and inorganic ionic compounds undergo crystallization and crystal growth, polystyrene NPs form periodic arrays and disklike structures with concentric circles or hexagonal packing, and Au NPs demonstrate assembling and swarming, in which the NPs fluctuate like a group of bees. These phenomena that depend on laser polarization are called optically evolved assembling at solution surfaces, and their dynamics and mechanisms are elucidated in this review. As a promising application in materials science, the optical trapping assembly of lead halide perovskites, supramolecules, and aggregation-induced emission enhancement-active molecules is demonstrated and future directions for fundamental study are discussed.

Abstract
We report photothermal phase separation of aqueous poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)/1-butanol (BuOH) solutions by focused 1064 nm laser irradiation and subsequent single microparticle formation in the solution. The single microparticle [diameter = ∼10 μm and volume = ∼picoliter (pL)] produced by laser irradiation was optically trapped by the incident 1064 nm laser beam, and this enabled us in situ Raman/fluorescence microspectroscopies of the particle. Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that the particle produced by laser irradiation was composed of PNIPAM and BuOH. In the presence of rhodamine B (RhB) in the solution, RhB was distributed from the water phase to the PNIPAM/BuOH microparticle produced by laser irradiation, as confirmed by fluorescence microspectroscopy. Laser-induced distribution/extraction of RhB to a single PNIPAM/BuOH microparticle was shown to be possible at the RhB concentration as low as 10-14 mol/dm3, where the RhB fluorescence intensity from the particle showed a step-by-step increase by every ∼3 min laser irradiation. This is the first demonstration of laser-induced simultaneous extraction and detection of single RhB molecules in solution.

Abstract
We present spatiotemporal control of aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) of a protonated tetraphenylethene derivative by optical manipulation. A single submicrometer-sized aggregate is initially confined by laser irradiation when its fluorescence is hardly detectable. The continuous irradiation of the formed aggregate leads to sudden and rapid growth, resulting in bright yellow fluorescence emission. The fluorescence intensity at the peak wavelength of 540 nm is tremendously enhanced with growth, meaning that AIEE is activated by optical manipulation. Amazingly, the switching on/off of the activation of AIEE is arbitrarily controlled by alternating the laser power. This result means that optical manipulation increases the local concentration, which overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between the protonated molecules, namely, optical manipulation changes the aggregate structure. The dynamics and mechanism in AIEE controlled by optical manipulation will be discussed from the viewpoint of molecular conformation and association depending on the laser power.

Abstract
Water solubility and adjustable fluorescence properties have been successfully implemented in the hydrochromic amino rhodamine via copolymerization. Four copolymers have been synthesized and clearly characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, proving greater detail than the commonly used NMR and IR technologies. The four copolymers have good solubility in pure water and in many common organic solvents, while preserving the hydrochromism of the dye monomer. Based on aggregation and dispersion of the copolymers as adjusted by solvent media and temperature, reversible fluorescence properties were successfully realized. Furthermore, their luminescence in solid state was observed. These studies are of great significance for expanding the application of hydrochromic dyes in biological fields and promoting green industrialization. Water solubility and adjustable fluorescence adjustable properties have been successfully endowed to established in a hydrochromic dye via copolymerization.![]()

Abstract
Laser trapping has served as a useful tool in physics and biology, but, before our work, chemists had not paid much attention to this technique because molecules are too small to be trapped in solution at room temperature. In late 1980s, we demonstrated laser trapping of micrometer-sized particles, developed various methodologies for their manipulation, ablation, and patterning in solution, and elucidated their dynamics and mechanism. In the 1990s, we started laser trapping studies on polymers, micelles, dendrimers, and gold, as well as polymer nanoparticles. Many groups also reported laser trapping studies of nanoclusters, DNA, colloidal suspensions, etc. Following these research streams, we have explored new molecular phenomena induced by laser trapping. Gradient force leading to trapping, mass transfer by local heating, and molecular reorientation following laser polarization are intimately coupled with molecular cluster and aggregate formation due to their intermolecular interactions, which depend on whether the trapping position is at the interface/surface or in solution. In this Account, we summarize our systematic studies on laser trapping chemistry and present some new advances and our future perspectives. We describe the laser trapping of nanoparticles, polymers, and amino acid clusters in solution by focusing a continuous wave 1064 nm laser beam on the molecules of interest and consider their dynamics and mechanism. In dilute solution, nanoparticles with weak mutual interactions are individually trapped at the focal point, while laser trapping of nanoparticles in concentrated solution assembles and confines numerous particles at the focal spot. The assembly of polymers during their laser trapping extends out from the focal point because of the interpolymer interactions, heat transfer, and solvent flow. When the trapping laser is focused at an interface between a thin heavy water solution film of glycine and a glass substrate, the assembled molecules nucleate and evolve to a liquid-liquid phase separation, or they will crystallize if the trapping laser is focused on the solution surface. Laser trapping can induce spatiotemporally the liquid and solid nucleation of glycine, and the dense liquid droplet or crystal formed can grow to a bulk scale. We can control the polymorph of the formed glycine crystal selectively by tuning trapping laser polarization and power. These results provide a new approach to elucidate dynamics and mechanism of crystallization and are the fundamental basis for studying not only enantioselective crystallization but also confined polymerization, trapping dynamics by ultrashort laser pulses, and resonance effect in laser trapping.

Abstract
Controlling chemical reactions within a small space is a significant issue in chemistry, and methods to induce reactions within a desired position have various potential applications. Here we demonstrate localized, efficient photopolymerization by radiation pressure. We induced a one-photon UV polymerization of liquid acrylate solutions in the optical-trapping potential of a focused near-IR (NIR) laser beam, leading to the confinement of solidification to a minute space with dimensions smaller or equal to one-fifth of the wavelength of the NIR laser. Our approach can produce solidification volumes smaller than those achievable with conventional one-photon polymerization, thus enabling the production of tiny polymeric structures that are smaller than the diffraction limit of the trapping light. This is the first demonstration of a radiation pressure effect on a photochemical reaction.

Abstract
The effect of optical gradient force from a focused laser beam on the fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) was investigated by a computing method based on Brownian dynamics simulation. A series of calculations revealed that, in relatively shallow optical force potential up to 1.0kTR (TR=298.15 K), the conventional theoretical model of FCS without consideration of the optical gradient force could evaluate the increase in the average number of molecules and the diffusion time in the potential. On the other hand, large deviation between the simulated fluorescence correlation curve and the theoretical model was observed under the potential depth >1.0kTR. In addition, by integrating the optical force potential with the temperature elevation under optical trapping condition, it was deduced that the temperature rise does not seriously affect the average number of particles in the sampling area, but the average residence time is more sensitively affected by the temperature elevation. The present study using the simulation also provides a method to experimentally estimate molecular polarizabilities from FCS measurements.

Abstract
The ever-improving time and space resolution and molecular detection sensitivity of fluorescence microscopy offer unique opportunities to deepen our insights into the function of chemical and biological catalysts. Because single-molecule microscopy allows for counting the turnover events one by one, one can map the distribution of the catalytic activities of different sites in solid heterogeneous catalysts, or one can study time-dependent activity fluctuations of individual sites in enzymes or chemical catalysts. By experimentally monitoring individuals rather than populations, the origin of complex behavior, e.g., in kinetics or in deactivation processes, can be successfully elucidated. Recent progress of temporal and spatial resolution in single-molecule fluorescence microscopy is discussed in light of its impact on catalytic assays. Key concepts are illustrated regarding the use of fluorescent reporters in catalytic reactions. Future challenges comprising the integration of other techniques, such as diffraction, scanning probe, or vibrational methods in single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy are suggested.

Abstract
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) was applied to the quantitative evaluation of the local heating in small domains <1 microm in solutions under the laser trapping condition in the presence of a near-infrared (NIR) laser beam at 1064 nm. On the basis of the translational diffusion coefficient of fluorescent molecules obtained by FCS, the relationship between temperature rise and the incident NIR laser power, DeltaT/DeltaP, were determined to be 62 +/- 6, 49 +/- 7, and 23 +/- 1 deg K/W in ethylene glycol, ethanol, and water, respectively, while no remarkable temperature increase was observed for deuterated water. The value of DeltaT/DeltaP linearly increased as a function of alpha/lambda (alpha is the extinction coefficient of solvent at the wavelength and lambda is the thermal conductivity of the medium). The validity and the applicability of the present method for the measurement of the local temperature increase were discussed by comparing the present results with previous ones by other various methods.

Abstract
We have demonstrated size-selective optical trapping and deposition of polymer and aromatic molecules from binary mixed solution. As a near-infrared laser beam is tightly focused in polystyrene and perylene mixed solution and dropped on a glass substrate, a molecular assembly is deposited at the laser focus and fixed on the substrate. The fluorescence spectrum of the deposited microassembly depends on the laser power; perylene monomer fluorescence is dominant in the case of high laser power, whereas excimer emission of perylene crystal is observed in the case of low laser power. This suggests that polystyrene molecules are preferentially deposited by focusing a higher laser power so that the ratio of polystyrene and perylene in the assembly can be controlled by laser power. This mechanism can be explained in view of the molecular size selectivity in optical trapping.

Abstract
Ordered fibril- and particle-like assemblies of poly(2,7-(9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene)) can be formed by photon force of a focused near-infrared laser beam during the drying process of its tetrahydrofuran solution on a glass substrate. These formations have been achieved controllably by combining laser irradiation with convection in the cast solution; that is, when viscous drag of the solution in the convection is stronger than the photon force, the fibril-like assemblies can be formed. Molecular orientation in the assemblies differs from that in self-assembled fibril-like structures, and maybe it can be controlled by the polarization direction of the focused laser beam. We have demonstrated that the length and width of the assemblies can be controlled by the irradiation time, the laser power, the concentration of the solution, and the convection rate in the solution. On the other hand, when the viscous drag of the solution in the convection is weak compared to the photon force, particle-like assemblies in which molecular orientation is controlled by polarization direction are formed.

Abstract
We developed a confocal Raman microspectroscopy system combined with a laser trapping technique and applied it to aqueous solutions (H(2)O and D(2)O) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA), which is well-known as a representative thermo-responsive polymer, i.e., phase transition/separation between coiled and globular states. By introducing a near-infrared (1064 nm) laser beam into a microscope, PNIPA microparticles were produced at the focused spot of the laser beam, both in H(2)O and D(2)O. By using the present system, we succeeded in obtaining the Raman spectra of PNIPA in the coiled and globular states over a wide wavenumber region (800-3500 cm(-1)) for the first time. For the D(2)O solutions (in which the photothermal effect is negligible and hence the microparticles should be produced purely by the effect of radiation pressure), some significant differences were observed in the Raman spectra for the coiled state, in the globular state, and for laser induced microparticles. By analyzing these spectra in detail, we revealed that the structure of the laser-induced microparticles was analogous to that in the globular state. We also discuss the fundamental mechanism underlying the transformation of the higher order structure of a polymer by radiation pressure.

Abstract
As optical trapping by a focused laser beam is applied for nanoparticles, multiple particles are grasped in the focal spot and make an assembly. Gold nanoparticles confined in such a submicrometer optical cage show a characteristic extinction spectrum depending on laser power. The spectral change can be induced reversibly and repeatedly by tuning the laser power, demonstrating that the assembly of gold nanoparticles can be controlled by the gradient force. This is attributed to the soft confinement of nanoparticles dressed in electrostatic potential barriers.

Abstract
When a laser beam is focused into colloidal nanoparticle suspensions, a number of nanoparticles can be confined in the focal spot due to an optical gradient force. To reveal the assembling dynamics of polymer nanoparticles, the assembling process was investigated by analyzing the time evolution of the fluorescence intensity of the nanoparticles. In a dilute suspension of 100-nm-sized particles, a stepwise increase of the fluorescence intensity corresponding to a trapped single nanoparticle was observed. Statistical analysis revealed that the initial assembling rate of nanoparticles was proportional to the laser power and concentration of particle suspensions as expected from the diffusion equation. In 40-nm-sized particle suspensions, blinking profiles of fluorescence intensity were obtained, in which 2-3 particles were simultaneously trapped and then escaped from the focal point. It is considered from statistical analyses and two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations that this assembling phenomenon is attributable to cluster formation assisted by optical trapping.
