ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:29401-29409. [PMID: 39005810 PMCID: PMC11238298 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c01607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Spiropyran is a dynamic organic compound that is distinguished by its reversible conversion between two forms: the colorless closed spiropyran (SP) form and the purple open merocyanine (MC) form. Typically triggered by UV light and reversed by visible light, spiropyran-functionalized surfaces offer reversible conversion in properties including color, polarity, reactivity, and fluorescence, making them applicable to diverse applications in chemical sensors, biosensors, drug delivery, and heavy metal extraction. While spiropyran has been successfully incorporated into various material platforms with SiO2 surfaces, its application on flat surfaces has been limited due to surface area constraints and a lack of standardized evaluation methods, which largely depend on the integration approach and substrate type used. In this study, we systematically review the existing literature and categorize integration methods and substrate types first and then report on our experimental work, in which we developed a streamlined three-step immobilization protocol, which includes surface activation, amination with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), and subsequent functionalization with carboxylic spiropyran (SP-COOH). Using SiO2 surfaces as a demonstration, we have also established a robust characterization protocol, consisting of contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ellipsometry, and fluorometric analysis. Our results evaluate the newly developed immobilization protocol, demonstrating effective activation and optimal amination using a 2% APTES solution, achieved in 5 min at room temperature. Fluorescence imaging provided clear contrast between the SP and the MC forms. Furthermore, we discuss limitations in the surface density of functional groups and steric hindrance and propose future improvements. Our work not only underscores the versatility of spiropyran in surface patterning but also provides optimized protocols for its immobilization and characterization on SiO2 surfaces, which may be adapted for use on other substrates. These advancements lay the groundwork for on-chip sensing technologies and other applications.

Abstract
The development of photoresponsive systems with non-invasive orthogonal control by distinct wavelengths of light is still in its infancy. In particular, the design of photochemically triggered-orthogonal systems integrated into solid materials that enable multiple dynamic control over their properties remains a longstanding challenge. Here, we report the orthogonal and reversible control of two types of photoswitches in an integrated solid porous framework, that is, visible-light responsive o-fluoroazobenzene and nitro-spiropyran motifs. The properties of the constructed material can be selectively controlled by different wavelengths of light thus generating four distinct states providing a basis for dynamic multifunctional materials. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy demonstrated the selective transformation of the azobenzene switch in the bulk, which in turn modulates N2 and CO2 adsorption.

Abstract
One challenge of the structural design of a fluorescent probe is how to improve the detection performance on trace target analytes in complex samples. Herein a new polymer fluorescent nanoprobe (2DSP-C28) has been synthesized, by adopting a two-dimensional (2D), spiropyran (SP)-based nanosheet structure with hydrophobic long-chain alkanes (C28). Unlike a traditional SP-based small molecule probe, the 2DSP-C28probe can exhibit quantitative-fluorescent and photochromic properties. Under the detection of metal-ions, the nanoprobe in dimethyl sulfoxide aqueous solution is selectively fluorescent-quenched-responsive for Fe-ions (∼100μM), with a characteristic stoichiometric ratio of <10, a high sensitivity (limit of detection: ∼0.2μM). When the nanoprobe is incorporated into electrospun polyethylene oxide, it can be used for gas detection, and display a color-change with acid-base gas and identify the HF gas. It is expected that this new polymer fluorescent nanoprobe can be promisingly applied for rapidly environmental monitoring on the ion or gas pollution.

Abstract
Since the last century, we have witnessed the development of molecular magnetism which deals with magnetic materials based on molecular species, i.e., organic radicals and metal complexes. Among them, the broadest attention was devoted to molecule-based ferro-/ferrimagnets, spin transition materials, including those exploring electron transfer, molecular nanomagnets, such as single-molecule magnets (SMMs), molecular qubits, and stimuli-responsive magnetic materials. Their physical properties open the application horizons in sensors, data storage, spintronics, and quantum computation. It was found that various optical phenomena, such as thermochromism, photoswitching of magnetic and optical characteristics, luminescence, nonlinear optical and chiroptical effects, as well as optical responsivity to external stimuli, can be implemented into molecule-based magnetic materials. Moreover, the fruitful interactions of these optical effects with magnetism in molecule-based materials can provide new physical cross-effects and multifunctionality, enriching the applications in optical, electronic, and magnetic devices. This Review aims to show the scope of optical phenomena generated in molecule-based magnetic materials, including the recent advances in such areas as high-temperature photomagnetism, optical thermometry utilizing SMMs, optical addressability of molecular qubits, magneto-chiral dichroism, and opto-magneto-electric multifunctionality. These findings are discussed in the context of the types of optical phenomena accessible for various classes of molecule-based magnetic materials.

Abstract
High-throughput biofluid metabolomics analysis for screening life-threatening diseases is urgently needed. However, the high salt content of biofluid samples, which introduces severe interference, can greatly limit the analysis throughput. Here, a new 3-D interconnected hierarchical superstructure, namely a "plasmonic gold-on-silica (Au/SiO2) double-layered aerogel", integrating distinctive features of an upper plasmonic gold aerogel with a lower inert silica aerogel was successfully developed to achieve in situ separation and storage of inorganic salts in the silica aerogel, parallel enrichment of metabolites on the surface of the functionalized gold aerogel, and direct desorption/ionization of enriched metabolites by the photo-excited gold aerogel for rapid, sensitive, and comprehensive metabolomics analysis of human serum/urine samples. By integrating all these unique advantages into the hierarchical aerogel, multifunctional properties were introduced in the SALDI substrate to enable its effective utilization in clinical metabolomics for the discovery of reliable metabolic biomarkers to achieve unambiguous differentiation of early and advanced-stage lung cancer patients from healthy individuals. This study provides insight into the design and application of superstructured nanomaterials for in situ separation, storage, and photoexcitation of multi-components in complex biofluid samples for sensitive analysis.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive molecular systems support within permanently porous materials offer the opportunity to host dynamic functions in multifunctional smart materials. However, the construction of highly porous frameworks featuring external-stimuli responsiveness, for example by light excitation, is still in its infancy. Here a general strategy is presented to construct spiropyran-functionalized highly porous switchable aromatic frameworks by modular and high-precision anchoring of molecular hooks and an innovative in situ solid-state grafting approach. Three spiropyran-grafted frameworks bearing distinct functional groups exhibiting various stimuli-responsiveness are generated by two-step post-solid-state synthesis of a parent indole-based material. The quantitative transformation and preservation of high porosity are demonstrated by spectroscopic and gas adsorption techniques. For the first time, a highly efficient strategy is provided to construct multi-stimuli-responsive, yet structurally robust, spiropyran materials with high pore capacity which is proved essential for the reversible and quantitative isomerization in the bulk as demonstrated by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The overall strategy allows to construct dynamic materials that undergoes reversible transformation of spiropyran to zwitterionic merocyanine, by chemical and physical stimulation, showing potential for pH active control, responsive gas uptake and release, contaminant removal, and water harvesting.

Abstract
Light-driven multicolor supramolecular systems mainly rely on the doping of dyes or a photo-reaction to produce unidirectional luminescence. Herein, we use visible light to drive the bidirectional reversible multicolor supramolecular shuttle from blue to green, white, yellow, up to orange by simple encapsulation of spiropyran-modified cyanostilbene (BCNMC) by the macrocyclic cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) monomer. The resultant host-guest complex displayed enhanced fluorescence properties, i.e. the multicolor fluorescence shuttle changed from blue to orange in the dark within 2 hours and reverted to the original state upon visible light irradiation for 30 s. Benefiting from the sensitivity of the spiropyran moiety to light, it can spontaneously isomerize from the ring-opened state to a ring-closed isomer in aqueous solution, and this photo-isomerization reaction is a reversible process under visible light irradiation, leading to the multicolor luminescence supramolecular shuttle as a result of intramolecular energy transfer. In addition, the light also drove the reversible conversion of the topological morphology of the host-guest complex from two-dimensional nanoplatelets to nanospheres. Different from the widely reported molecular rotaxane "shuttle", the spiropyran supramolecular shuttle confined in the macrocyclic host CB[8] not only modulated a reversible topological morphology by light but also exhibited multicolor luminescence, which was successfully applied in programmed and rewritable information encryption.

Abstract
The process of arranging magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into long-range structures that can be dynamically and reversibly controlled is challenging, although interesting for emerging spintronic applications. Here, we report composites of MNPs in excess of LC-like ligands as promising materials for MNP-based technologies. The organic part ensures the assembly of MNP into long-range ordered phases as well as precise and temperature-reversible control over the arrangement. The dynamic changes are fully reversible, which we confirm using X-ray diffraction (XRD). This methodology allows for the precise control of the nanomaterial's structure in a thin film at different temperatures, translating to variable unit cell parameters. The composition of the materials (XPS, TGA), their structure (XRD), and magnetic properties (SQUID) were performed. Overall, this study confirms that LC-like materials provide the ability to dynamically control the magnetic nanoparticles in thin films, particularly the reversible control of their self-organization.

Abstract
Studies on self-assembling systems with a controllable morphology responding to light stimulation are significant for revealing the process and mechanism of assembly. Here, a molecule of spiropyran derivative (SP) possessing photoresponsive assembly morphology is constructed. SP self-assembles into irregular sheet-like structures whose morphology can be significantly transformed into regular nanospheres under continuous ultraviolet light stimulation. The UV-vis absorption spectra indicate that 56% of SP are isomerized from closed-ring form (SPC) to open-ring form (SPO) with color changes from colorless to magenta. Furthermore, theoretical calculations demonstrate that SPO-SPO aggregates possess stronger van der Waals forces than do SPC-SPC aggregates and tend to form stable intermediates combined with SPO isomers. Therefore, the isomerization of SP from SPC to SPO and the differences in intermolecular interactions are important factors in the morphological transition. Our study provides an efficient strategy to modulate the assembled morphology, which holds great promise to be applied in the field of smart materials.

Abstract
Recently, spiropyran-based composites have gained more attention on account of their stimuli-responsive essence, especially of the fascinating and green photo stimulus. However, the great dipole moment change between the ring-opened merocyanine and ring-closed spiropyran requires a large free volume available for isomerization, which significantly restrains the photoisomerization of spiropyran-based nanocomposites. Herein, a fascinating pathway by regulating the states both of spiropyran and the immobilized nanoparticle supports was put forward to facilitate the photoisomerization. The results demonstrated that the spiropyran grafting percentage of 5.18% and immobilized supports with less aggregation, high specific surface area, large pore size, and noncrystalline structure were suitable to fabricate spiropyran-based nanocomposites, which showed a significant improvement for Pb2+ and Cr3+ removal from aqueous solution on account of free photoisomerization of spiropyran on the support's surface. This work will pave the pathway to extend the exploitation of spiropyran-based nanocomposites in various fields such as biotechnology, physiology, and electronics to photonics and environmental-friendly fields.

Abstract
Controlling the number of molecular switches and their relative positioning within porous materials is critical to their functionality and properties. The proximity of many molecular switches to one another can hinder or completely suppress their response. Herein, a synthetic strategy involving mixed linkers is used to control the distribution of spiropyran-functionalized linkers in a covalent organic framework (COF). The COF contains a spiropyran in each pore which exhibits excellent reversible photoswitching behavior to its merocyanine form in the solid state in response to UV/Vis light. The spiro-COF possesses an urchin-shaped morphology and exhibits a morphological transition to 2D nanosheets and vesicles in solution upon UV light irradiation. The merocyanine-equipped COFs are extremely stable and possess a more ordered structure with enhanced photoluminescence. This approach to modulating structural isomerization in the solid state is used to develop inkless printing media, while the photomediated polarity change is used for water harvesting applications.

Abstract
Confinement-imposed photophysics was probed for novel stimuli-responsive hydrazone-based compounds demonstrating a conceptual difference in their behavior within 2D versus 3D porous matrices for the first time. The challenges associated with photoswitch isomerization arising from host interactions with photochromic compounds in 2D scaffolds could be overcome in 3D materials. Solution-like photoisomerization rate constants were realized for sterically demanding hydrazone derivatives in the solid state through their coordinative immobilization in 3D scaffolds. According to steady-state and time-resolved photophysical measurements and theoretical modeling, this approach provides access to hydrazone-based materials with fast photoisomerization kinetics in the solid state. Fast isomerization of integrated hydrazone derivatives allows for probing and tailoring resonance energy transfer (ET) processes as a function of excitation wavelength, providing a novel pathway for ET modulation.

Abstract
Brightly fluorescent solid-state materials are highly desirable for bioimaging, optoelectronic applications, and energy harvesting. However, the close contact between π-systems most often leads to quenching. Recently, we developed small-molecule ionic isolation lattices (SMILES) that efficiently isolate fluorophores while ensuring very high densities of the dyes. Nevertheless, efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) energy migration in such dense systems is inevitable. While attractive for energy harvesting applications, FRET also significantly compromises quantum yields of fluorescent solids by funneling the excitation energy to dark trap states. Here, we investigate the underlying property of FRET and exploit it to our favor by intentionally introducing fluorescent dopants into SMILES materials, acting as FRET acceptors with favorable photophysical properties. This doping is shown to outcompete energy migration to dark trap states while also ruling out reabsorption effects in dense SMILES materials, resulting in universal fluorescent solid-state materials (thin films, powders, and crystals) with superior properties. These include emission quantum yields reaching as high as 50-65%, programmable fluorescence lifetimes with mono-exponential decay, and independent selection of absorption and emission maxima. The volume normalized brightness of these FRET-based SMILES now reach values up to 32,200 M-1 cm-1 nm-3 and can deliver freely tunable spectroscopic properties for the fabrication of super-bright advanced optical materials. It is found that SMILES prohibit PET quenching between donor and acceptor dyes that is observed for non-SMILES mixtures of the same dyes. This allows a very broad selection of donor and acceptor dyes for use in FRET SMILES.

Abstract
In living organisms, enzyme catalysis takes place in aqueous media with extraordinary spatiotemporal control and precision. The mechanistic knowledge of enzyme catalysis and related approaches of creating a suitable microenvironment for efficient chemical transformations have been an important source of inspiration for the design of biomimetic artificial catalysts. However, in "nature-like" environments, it has proven difficult for artificial catalysts to promote effective chemical transformations. Besides, control over reaction rate and selectivity are important for smart application purposes. These can be achieved via incorporation of stimuli-responsive features into the structure of smart catalytic systems. Here, we summarize such catalytic systems whose activity can be switched 'on' or 'off' by the application of stimuli in aqueous environments. We describe the switchable catalytic systems capable of performing organic transformations with classification in accordance to the stimulating agent. Switchable catalytic activity in aqueous environments provides new possibilities for the development of smart materials for biomedicine and chemical biology. Moreover, engineering of aqueous catalytic systems can be expected to grow in the coming years with a further broadening of its application to diverse fields.

Abstract
Integrating fluorescent chromophores in aromatic frameworks could not only prevent aggregation-induced quenching caused by the π-π stacking interaction between the chromophore components but also confer new fluorescence properties. Herein, we report the fabrication of s-tetrazine-bridged aromatic frameworks TzAF by the incorporation of the smallest aromatic fluorophore, s-tetrazine (Tz), into the skeleton of a tetrahedrally connected lattice of aromatic frameworks. The thin films of TzAF coated on silica gel plates were found to exhibit reversible photoswitching fluorescence characteristics under alternate UV and visible-light irradiations with excellent fluorescence stability and high on/off contrast. The repeatable "on/off"fluorescence photoswitchability of the TzAF thin films was mechanistically attributed to light-induced reversible transformation between TzAF's neutral and radical states.

Abstract
Continuous microporous membranes are widely studied for gas separation, due to their low energy premium and strong molecular specificity. Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) with their exceptional stability and structural flexibility are suited to a wide range of separations. Main-stream PAF-based membranes are usually prepared with polymeric matrices, but their discrete entities and boundary defects weaken their selectivity and permeability. The synthesis of continuous PAF membranes is still a major challenge because PAFs are insoluble. Herein, we successfully synthesized a continuous PAF membrane for gas separation. Both pore size and chemistry of the PAF membrane were modified by ion-exchange, resulting in good selectivity and permeance for the gas mixtures H2 /N2 and CO2 /N2 . The membrane with Br- as a counter ion in the framework exhibited a H2 /N2 selectivity of 72.7 with a H2 permeance of 51844 gas permeation units (GPU). When the counter ions were replaced by BF4 - , the membrane showed a CO2 permeance of 23058 GPU, and an optimized CO2 /N2 selectivity of 60.0. Our results show that continuous PAF membranes with modifiable pores are promising for various gas separation situations.

Abstract
Tuning the secondary structure of a protein or polymer in the solid-state is challenging. Here we report the topochemical synthesis of a pseudoprotein and its secondary structure tuning in the solid-state. We designed the dipeptide monomer N3 -Leu-Ala-NH-CH2 -C≡CH (1) for topochemical azide-alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) polymerization. Dipeptide 1 adopts an anti-parallel β-sheet-like stacked arrangement in its crystals. Upon heating, the dipeptide undergoes quantitative TAAC polymerization in a crystal-to-crystal fashion yielding large polymers. The reaction occurs between the adjacent monomers in the H-bonded anti-parallel stack, yielding pseudoprotein having a β-meander structure. When dissolved in methanol, this pseudoprotein changes its secondary structure from β-meander to α-helical form and it retains the new secondary structure upon desolvation. This work demonstrates a novel paradigm for tuning the secondary structure of a polymer in the solid-state.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials that can be reversibly switched by light are of immense interest. Among them, photo-responsive spin crossover (SCO) complexes have great promises to combine the photoactive inputs with multifaceted outputs into switchable materials and devices. However, the reversible control the spin-state change by photochromic guests is still challenging. Herein, we report an unprecedented guest-driven light-induced spin change (GD-LISC) in a Hofmann-type metal-organic framework (MOF), [Fe(bpn){Ag(CN)2 }2 ]⋅azobenzene. (1, bpn=1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)naphthalene). The reversible trans-cis photoisomerization of azobenzene guest upon UV/Vis irradiation in the solid-state results in the remarkable magnetic changes in a wide temperature range of 10-180 K. This finding not only establishes a new switching mechanism for SCO complexes, but also paves the way toward the development of new generation of photo-responsive magnetic materials.

Abstract
For photochromic molecules, effective isomerization usually requires conformational freedom, which is usually unavailable under solvent-free conditions. In this work, we report a new method, which can realize the reversible switching of spiropyran molecules by introducing a rigid aromatic ring group and this method can provide the required free volume to transform from a closed-ring to an open-ring form. This new molecule can quickly change color in the solid state under ultraviolet light, and can be erased after being heated at 60 °C for about 5 minutes. Furthermore, this new compound presents mechanochromicity when a mechanical force is applied. What is more, it can be used for at least 30 cycles of print-erase operations without apparent fatigue. This new molecule exhibits improved photochromic and anti-fatigue properties in the solid state, which can promote its application in both ultraviolet printing and anti-counterfeiting materials.

Abstract
Investigation of photochromic and acidochromic behaviors of a set of pyridyl- and pyrimidylethynylated mono- and bis-benzopyrans reveals an intriguing influence of the N-heteroaryl ring on spectrokinetic properties of the photogenerated o-quinonoid colored reactive intermediates. While the absorption maxima of the pyridylethynylated bis-benzopyran and its photogenerated o-quinonoid colored species undergo bathochromic shifts by ca. 40 and 22 nm, respectively, in the presence of an acid (e.g., trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)), the same remain unaffected for the analogous pyrimidylethynylated bis-benzopyran and its photogenerated o-quinonoid colored species under similar conditions. Modification of the photochromic behavior of these benzopyrans and, hence, spectrokinetic properties of their photogenerated o-quinonoid species in the presence of H+ is a consequence of relative proton affinities of N-heteroaryl rings, i.e., pyridyl/pyrimidyl, and the resonance effects relayed through the ethynyl spacers in a push-pull π-delocalized-type skeleton; the mesomeric effects operate in a contrasting manner depending on the N-heteroaryl ring in the absence and in the presence of an acid. These molecular systems offer a unique opportunity to modulate both photochromic and acidochromic properties of benzopyrans and their photogenerated colored o-quinonoid intermediates by leveraging N-heteroaromatic rings.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsiveness is an important characteristic that show promising potential in various applications. Herein, a novel ZIF-8-on-Tb-dpn (H3dpn = 5-(2',4'-dicarboxylphenyl)nicotic acid) heterostructure is constructed using a heteroepitaxial strategy combining the chemical-responsive (antibiotics) and light-responsive behaviors. The pyridine nitrogen of Tb-dpn acts as an anchor site for Zn2+, which helps to overcome the limit of lattice mismatch between two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and promotes the growth of ZIF-8 nanocrystals. Based on the synergy effect of two MOFs, ZIF-8-on-Tb-dpn exhibits an efficient turn-off response toward tetracycline and chloramphenicol via competitive absorption, Förster resonance energy transfer, and photoinduced electron transfer processes with limit of detection values of 5.6 and 37.6 nM, respectively, which are three- to -fivefold lower than those of Tb-dpn. Moreover, the nanocage of ZIF-8 is utilized to encapsulate photochromic spiropyran (SP) molecules and realize the reversible conversion between SP and merocyanine (MC) under visible light and ultraviolet light. The MC form is accompanied with strong adsorption at 555 nm, which can erase the emission of Tb3+. Therefore, a reversible invisible anticounterfeiting pattern is designed with SP ⊂ ZIF-8-on-Tb-dpn for information anticounterfeiting. The excellent stimuli-responsive ability makes the luminescent platform a potential candidate in luminescence applications.

Abstract
The application of molecular switches for the fabrication of multistimuli-responsive chromic materials and devices still remains a challenge because of the restrictions imposed by the supporting solid matrices where these compounds must be incorporated: they often critically affect the chromic response as well as limit the type and nature of external stimuli that can be applied. In this work, we propose the use of ionogels to overcome these constraints, as they provide a soft, fluidic, transparent, thermally stable, and ionic-conductive environment where molecular switches preserve their solution-like properties and can be exposed to a number of different stimuli. By exploiting this strategy, we herein pioneer the preparation of nitrospiropyran-based materials using a single solid platform that exhibit optimal photo-, halo-, thermo-, and electrochromic switching behaviors.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology offers a versatile toolbox for precise spatial and temporal manipulation of matter on the nanoscale. However, rendering DNA‐based systems responsive to light has remained challenging. Herein, we describe the remote manipulation of native (non‐photoresponsive) chiral plasmonic molecules (CPMs) using light. Our strategy is based on the use of a photoresponsive medium comprising a merocyanine‐based photoacid. Upon exposure to visible light, the medium decreases its pH, inducing the formation of DNA triplex links, leading to a spatial reconfiguration of the CPMs. The process can be reversed simply by turning the light off and it can be repeated for multiple cycles. The degree of the overall chirality change in an ensemble of CPMs depends on the CPM fraction undergoing reconfiguration, which, remarkably, depends on and can be tuned by the intensity of incident light. Such a dynamic, remotely controlled system could aid in further advancing DNA‐based devices and nanomaterials.

Abstract
Considering porous materials as host matrices is an elegant way to enable photoswitching of non-covalently attached organic dyes even in the solid state. By focusing on the resulting optical properties as a function of loading degree and synthesis procedure, the occurring host-guest and guest-guest interactions can be determined and further exploited. In the course of this study, the photochromic behavior of ortho-tetrafluoroazobenzene (tF-AZB) inside flexible DMOF-1 was investigated from these points of view. It was found that depending on the loading degree and temperature, tF-AZB shows varying E/Z ratios and switching efficiency. For systems with low loading, reversible visible light induced isomerization was observed over ten switching cycles: Upon violet light exposure, formation of 100% E isomer was generated, while green light irradiation resulted in ∼60% Z-tF-AZB. Complementary molecular dynamics simulations at DFTB (density functional tight binding)-level revealed changing binding sites for Z-tF-AZB inside DMOF-1. For the E isomer, only low oscillations have been found, which in turn display a rare T-stacking interaction. Although the interaction strengths of the E and Z isomers with DMOF-1 are in the same range, the different mobility of both isomers due to varying binding sites explains the preference of the E isomer even upon green light exposure.

Abstract
Molecular machines, switches, and motors enable control over nanoscale molecular motion with unprecedented precision in artificial systems. Integration of these compounds into robust material scaffolds, in particular nanostructured solids, is a fabrication strategy for smart materials with unique properties that can be controlled with external stimuli. Here, we describe a subclass of these structures, namely light-responsive porous materials metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), and porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) appended with molecular photoswitches. In this review, we provide an overview of a broad range of light-responsive porous materials focusing on potential applications.

Abstract
Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling reaction of photoswitchable dithienylethene (AEDTE) with metal-free 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-iodophenyl)porphyrin and its metal derivatives (MTIPP, M = H2, Zn(II), Fe(II)) results in three porous organic polymers (POPs) including AEDTE-H2TIPP-POP, AEDTE-ZnTIPP-POP, and AEDTE-FeTIPP-POP. The morphology, components, and structures of newly obtained POPs have been examined by a range of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques including infrared spectroscopy (IR), solid-state UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The porous structures have been estimated by nitrogen and carbon dioxide sorption isotherms at 77 and 196 K, respectively. The open-AEDTE-H2TIPP-POP with AEDTE in an open form was revealed to be an effective and stable heterogeneous photocatalyst for visible light-driven oxidation of N-methylpyridinium salts possibly because of its relatively large specific surface area. In particular, a proof-of-concept of photoswitchable POP photocatalysts has been established using different light irradiation upon open-AEDTE-H2TIPP-POP to control its heterogeneous photocatalytic behaviors because of the adjustment over the electron transfer process and porous structures through photoisomerization of AEDTE. The present result highlights the bright perspective of photoswitching POPs in the field of materials chemistry and catalysis community.

Abstract
Spiropyran (SP) derivatives can be converted into the colored merocyanine (MC) form using a variety of triggers. Optical switching by light for memories and dynamic systems is long known. Recently, mechanical force has been reported as an additional stimulus that converts SP into MC. SP-based mechanochromic systems are especially interesting for polymer scientists, as the covalent attachment of polymer chains is ideal to transduce force to the SP level. Whether such materials are investigated to better understand fundamental processes or long standing questions in polymer science, to design force sensors or to self-report damage, or simply pose fascinating materials which turn colored upon deformation, they have intrigued polymer scientists for more than a decade. With the chemistry of SPs being feasible and SP functionalization important to modulate SP/MC equilibria, a significant amount of work on SP structure- mechanochromic function relations has accumulated. SPs can be used as bifunctional initiators, cross-linkers, monomers, or be synthesized during polymerization. This feature article provides an overview of how the chemistry used sets the boundaries within which the mechanochromic response of SP containing polymers can be modulated.

Abstract
![]()
In nature, light is harvested by photoactive proteins to drive
a range of biological processes, including photosynthesis, phototaxis,
vision, and ultimately life. Bacteriorhodopsin, for example, is a
protein embedded within archaeal cell membranes that binds the chromophore
retinal within its hydrophobic pocket. Exposure to light triggers
regioselective photoisomerization of the confined retinal, which in
turn initiates a cascade of conformational changes within the protein,
triggering proton flux against the concentration gradient, providing
the microorganisms with the energy to live. We are inspired by these
functions in nature to harness light energy using synthetic photoswitches
under confinement. Like retinal, synthetic photoswitches require some
degree of conformational flexibility to isomerize. In nature, the
conformational change associated with retinal isomerization is accommodated
by the structural flexibility of the opsin host, yet it results in
steric communication between the chromophore and the protein. Similarly,
we strive to design systems wherein isomerization of confined photoswitches
results in steric communication between a photoswitch and its confining
environment. To achieve this aim, a balance must be struck between
molecular crowding and conformational freedom under confinement: too
much crowding prevents switching, whereas too much freedom resembles
switching of isolated molecules in solution, preventing communication. In this Account, we discuss five classes of synthetic light-switchable
compounds—diarylethenes, anthracenes, azobenzenes, spiropyrans,
and donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts—comparing their
behaviors under confinement and in solution. The environments employed
to confine these photoswitches are diverse, ranging from planar surfaces
to nanosized cavities within coordination cages, nanoporous frameworks,
and nanoparticle aggregates. The trends that emerge are primarily
dependent on the nature of the photoswitch and not on the material
used for confinement. In general, we find that photoswitches requiring
less conformational freedom for switching are, as expected, more straightforward
to isomerize reversibly under confinement. Because these compounds
undergo only small structural changes upon isomerization, however,
switching does not propagate into communication with their environment.
Conversely, photoswitches that require more conformational freedom
are more challenging to switch under confinement but also can influence
system-wide behavior. Although we are primarily interested in
the effects of geometric
constraints on photoswitching under confinement, additional effects
inevitably emerge when a compound is removed from solution and placed
within a new, more crowded environment. For instance, we have found
that compounds that convert to zwitterionic isomers upon light irradiation
often experience stabilization of these forms under confinement. This
effect results from the mutual stabilization of zwitterions that are
brought into close proximity on surfaces or within cavities. Furthermore,
photoswitches can experience preorganization under confinement, influencing
the selectivity and efficiency of their photoreactions. Because intermolecular
interactions arising from confinement cannot be considered independently
from the effects of geometric constraints, we describe all confinement
effects concurrently throughout this Account.

Abstract
![]()
The spiropyran
family of photochromes are key components in molecular-based responsive
materials and devices, e.g., as multiphotochromes, covalently coupled
dyads, triads, etc. This attention is in no small part due to the
change in properties that accompany the switch between spiropyran
and merocyanine forms. Although the spiropyran is a single structural
isomer, the merocyanine form represents a family of isomers (TTT, TTC, CCT, etc.) and
protonation states. Combining two spiropyrans into one compound increases
the number of possible structures dramatically and the interaction
between the units determines, which are impeded due to intramolecular
quenching of excited states. Here, we show that the coupling of two
spiropyran photochromes through their phenol units yields favorable
interactions (crosstalk) between the components that provides access
to species inaccessible with the component monospiropyran alone. Specifically,
the ring opening of one spiropyran unit, which is thermally stable
at −30 °C, prevents ring opening of the second spiropyran
unit. Furthermore, whereas protonated E- and Z-monomerocyanines were previously shown to undergo thermal-
and photo-equilibration, the corresponding protonated E- and Z- bimerocyanines are thermally stable and
show one-way photoisomerization from the Z,Z- to an emissive E,E-bimerocyanine
form. Subsequent deprotonation at room temperature resets the system
to the bispiro ring-closed form, but deprotonation at −30 °C
yields the otherwise inaccessible bimerocyanine form. This form is
photochemically inert but undergoes a two-step thermal relaxation
via the merocyanine-spiropyran form, showing that the connection at
the phenol units provides sufficient intramolecular interaction to
fine-tune the complex isomerization pathways of spiropyrans and demonstrating
noncommutability in photo- and pH-regulated multistep isomerization
pathways.

Abstract
A photochemically crushable and regenerative metal-organic framework (DTEMOF) was developed by complexation of photochromic ligand PyDTEopen and 5-nitroisophthalate (nip2-) with Cd2+ in DMF/MeOH. DTEMOF ([Cd(nip)(PyDTEopen)(H2O)(DMF)2]n) was obtained as colorless crystals. Its crystal structure revealed that DTEMOF adopts a tubular structure with interlocked coordination networks and can accommodate guest molecules in its one-dimensional pores. When DTEMOF suspended in DMF/MeOH was exposed to UV light, its crystalline network, though thermally stable up to 260 °C, was readily crushed to afford a homogeneous blue-colored solution, via ring-closing isomerization of the constituent PyDTEopen ligand into PyDTEclosed. Upon successive exposure of this solution to visible light, colorless MOF crystals identical to those of DTEMOF were regenerated. Light-responsive DTEMOF enabled highly efficient on-demand guest release.

Abstract
Chromic materials, an important class of stimuli-responsive materials, have aroused extensive attention in recent years. Normally, their color is based on changes in morphology. Few examples of chromic material based on conformational isomerization, such as in overcrowded alkenes, have been reported previously. Furthemore, experimental thermodynamic studies of overcrowded bistricyclic aromatic enes have not been carried out to our knowledge. Here, we show that N-phenyl-substituted fluorenylidene-acridanes, with a properly modified fluorene moiety, performs chromisms originating from conformational changes. Thermodynamic studies determine equilibrium constants, changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy in solution, enabling in-depth understanding of the equilibrium behavior of overcrowded alkenes and providing useful information for designing functional chromic compounds. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of fluorenylidene-acridanes in this work clearly shows well-tuned charge transfer from the acridane to the fluorene moiety. Various chromic behaviors such as mechanochromism, thermochromism, solvatochromism, vapochromism, and proton-induced chromism also support understanding of conformational isomerism.

Abstract
When fabricating macroscopic devices exploiting the properties of organic chromophores, the corresponding molecules need to be condensed into a solid material. Since optical absorption properties are often strongly affected by interchromophore interactions, solids with a well-defined structure carry substantial advantages over amorphous materials. Here, the metal-organic framework (MOF)-based approach is presented. By appropriate functionalization, most organic chromophores can be converted to function as linkers, which can coordinate to metal or metal-oxo centers so as to yield stable, crystalline frameworks. Photoexcitations in such chromophore-based MOFs are surveyed, with a special emphasis on light-switchable MOFs from photochromic molecules. The conventional powder form of MOFs obtained using solvothermal approaches carries certain disadvantages for optical applications, such as limited efficiency resulting from absorption and light scattering caused by the (micrometer-sized) powder particles. How these problems can be avoided by using MOF thin films is demonstrated.

Abstract
Incorporating molecular photoswitches into various materials provides unique opportunities for controlling their properties and functions with high spatiotemporal resolution using remote optical stimuli. The great and largely still untapped potential of these photoresponsive systems has not yet been fully exploited due to the fundamental challenges in harnessing geometrical and electronic changes on the molecular level to modulate macroscopic and bulk material properties. Herein, progress made during the past decade in the field of photoswitchable materials is highlighted. After pointing to some general design principles, materials with an increasing order of the integrated photoswitchable units are discussed, spanning the range from amorphous settings over surfaces/interfaces and supramolecular ensembles, to liquid crystalline and crystalline phases. Finally, some potential future directions are pointed out in the conclusion. In view of the exciting recent achievements in the field, the future emergence and further development of light-driven and optically programmable (inter)active materials and systems are eagerly anticipated.

Abstract
The ability to reversibly assemble nanoparticles using light is both fundamentally interesting and important for applications ranging from reversible data storage to controlled drug delivery. Here, the diverse approaches that have so far been developed to control the self-assembly of nanoparticles using light are reviewed and compared. These approaches include functionalizing nanoparticles with monolayers of photoresponsive molecules, placing them in photoresponsive media capable of reversibly protonating the particles under light, and decorating plasmonic nanoparticles with thermoresponsive polymers, to name just a few. The applicability of these methods to larger, micrometer-sized particles is also discussed. Finally, several perspectives on further developments in the field are offered.

Abstract
Confining molecules can fundamentally change their chemical and physical properties. Confinement effects are considered instrumental at various stages of the origins of life, and life continues to rely on layers of compartmentalization to maintain an out-of-equilibrium state and efficiently synthesize complex biomolecules under mild conditions. As interest in synthetic confined systems grows, we are realizing that the principles governing reactivity under confinement are the same in abiological systems as they are in nature. In this Review, we categorize the ways in which nanoconfinement effects impact chemical reactivity in synthetic systems. Under nanoconfinement, chemical properties can be modulated to increase reaction rates, enhance selectivity and stabilize reactive species. Confinement effects also lead to changes in physical properties. The fluorescence of light emitters, the colours of dyes and electronic communication between electroactive species can all be tuned under confinement. Within each of these categories, we elucidate design principles and strategies that are widely applicable across a range of confined systems, specifically highlighting examples of different nanocompartments that influence reactivity in similar ways.

Abstract
Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) represent an important category of porous solids. PAFs possess rigid frameworks and exceptionally high surface areas, and, uniquely, they are constructed from carbon-carbon-bond-linked aromatic-based building units. Various functionalities can either originate from the intrinsic chemistry of their building units or are achieved by postmodification of the aromatic motifs using established reactions. Specially, the strong carbon-carbon bonding renders PAFs stable under harsh chemical treatments. Therefore, PAFs exhibit specificity in their chemistry and functionalities compared with conventional porous materials such as zeolites and metal organic frameworks. The unique features of PAFs render them being tolerant of severe environments and readily functionalized by harsh chemical treatments. The research field of PAFs has experienced rapid expansion over the past decade, and it is necessary to provide a comprehensive guide to the essential development of the field at this stage. Regarding research into PAFs, the synthesis, functionalization, and applications are the three most important topics. In this thematic review, the three topics are comprehensively explained and aptly exemplified to shed light on developments in the field. Current questions and a perspective outlook will be summarized.
