Using photoswitchable molecules to manipulate supramolecular interactions under light illumination has driven advancements in numerous fields, allowing for the strategic alteration of molecular systems. However, integrating the moiety responsible for these interactions into the photochromic scaffold can be complex and may hamper the switching efficiency. We thus explored a simple class of organic molecules, namely thiosemicarbazones, featuring both a photoisomerizable C[double bond, length as m-dash]N double bond and a thiourea moiety capable of hydrogen bonding.

Gene expression manipulation is pivotal in therapeutic approaches for various diseases. Non-viral delivery systems present a safer alternative to viral vectors, with reduced immunogenicity and toxicity. However, their effectiveness in promoting endosomal escape, a crucial step in gene transfer, remains limited.

Non-ionic "super-hydrophilic" polymers generally possess strong non-fouling characteristics and, therefore, can suppress non-specific and unwanted interactions with blood proteins when attached to in vivo nanomedicine ranging from drug or gene delivery to diagnostics. In this contribution, we revitalize a protected alcohol functionalized 2-oxazoline monomer, 2-acetoxymethyl-2-oxazoline, that was first reported almost fifty-five years ago and explore the possibility of making "super-hydrophilic" poly(2-oxazoline)s for biomedical applications. The synthesis of the 2-acetoxymethyl-2-oxazoline monomer and its cationic ring-opening homopolymerization and copolymerization kinetics are reported.

The crystal structure of the title compound, CHNOS, reveals two symmetrically independent mol-ecules within the asymmetric unit. Each mol-ecule contains a chromenone core attached to a 2-thio-phene ring, cyano, and amino groups. The 2-thio-phene ring of one of the two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit was found to be disordered over two positions, with the major component having a site occupancy factor of 0.
