Abstract
Styrylbenzazoles form a promising yet under-represented class of photoswitches that can perform a light-driven E-Z isomerization of the central alkene double bond without undergoing irreversible photocyclization, typical of the parent stilbene. In this work, we report the synthesis and photochemical study of 23 styrylbenzazole photoswitches. Their thermal stabilities, quantum yields, maximum absorption wavelengths and photostationary state (PSS) distributions can be tuned by changing the benzazole heterocycle and the substitution pattern on the aryl ring. In particular, we found that push-pull systems show large redshifts of the maximum absorption wavelengths and the highest quantum yields, whereas ortho-substituted styrylbenzazole photoswitches exhibit the most favorable PSS ratios. Taking advantage of both design principles, we produced 2,6-dimethyl-4-(dimethylamino)-styrylbenzothiazole, a thermally stable and efficient P-type photoswitch which displays negative photochromism upon irradiation with visible light up to 470 nm to obtain a near-quantitative isomerization with a very high quantum yield of 59 %. Furthermore, 4-hydroxystyrylbenzoxazole was demonstrated to be a pH-sensitive switch which exhibits a 100 nm redshift upon deprotonation. Ortho-methylation of its benzothiazole analogue improved the obtained PSS ratio in its deprotonated state from E : Z=53 : 47 to E : Z=18 : 82. We anticipate that this relatively unexplored class of photoswitches will form a valuable expansion of the current family of photoswitches.

Abstract
A convenient two-step preparation of NH-free 5-aryl-pyrrole-2-carboxylates is described. The synthetic route consists of catalytic borylation of commercially available pyrrole-2-carboxylate ester followed by Suzuki coupling without going through pyrrole N–H protection and deprotection steps. The resulting 5-aryl substituted pyrrole-2-carboxylates were synthesized in good- to excellent yields. This synthetic route can tolerate a variety of functional groups including those with acidic protons on the aryl bromide coupling partner. This methodology is also applicable for cross-coupling with heteroaryl bromides to yield pyrrole-thiophene, pyrrole-pyridine, and 2,3’-bi-pyrrole based bi-heteroaryls.

Abstract
Amino-substituted tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives have been designed as pH-activatable photosensitizers for photodynamic cancer therapy. The photophysical processes of the monoamino-substituted derivative N1 and nonsubstituted derivative N0 have been studied. The quantum yields of the fluorescence and photosensitization of singlet oxygen by N1 were very low in the neutral condition (OFF state), but these quantum yields were recovered by adding acid (ON state). These changes were not observed for N0; therefore, N1 is expected to be applicable as a pH-activatable photosensitizer. The ON/OFF switching mechanism of N1 has also been clarified. To optimize the pH response, tri- and tetraamino-substituted derivatives (N3 and N4) have also been explored. The pH response intensified as the number of amino groups increased. Furthermore, the ON/OFF switching ratio of N3 was 100, which is quite high.

Abstract
Conformational control of the receptor-fluorophore orientation of BF2 chelated azadipyrromethene sensors reveals two photophysically different modes of analyte triggered fluorescence switching both of which exhibit large off-on fluorescence intensity responses to the light input-output of the sensors in the visible red spectral region.
