New sulfonium salts with diphenylamino asymmetrically substituted stilbene as a D-π-A conjugated system have been synthesized. The resulting photoacid generators exhibit a highly efficient acid photogeneration process by either one-photon 405 nm or two-photon 800 nm excitation.

The photoacid-catalyzed synthesis of 2-deoxy glycosides is presented using stable glycosyl -[1-(-MeO-Phenyl)vinyl]benzoate (PMPVB) donors and employing the eosin Y and diphenyl disulfide (PhSSPh) catalytic system in the presence of blue LED lights. The remote activation of the alkene functionality under the photoacid catalysis followed by a 5-- cyclization led to the generation of oxocarbenium ions that were trapped to provide the glycosylated products in excellent yields and decent selectivities under mild conditions. This method is also useful for the photoacid-catalyzed synthesis of -methoxybenzyl-alkyl ethers.

Photoacids undergo an increase in acidity upon electronic excitation, enabling excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) reactions. A multitude of compounds that allow ESPT has been identified and integrated in numerous applications, as is outlined by reviewing the rich history of photoacid research reaching back more than 90 years. In particular, achievements together with ambitions and challenges are highlighted from a combined experimental and theoretical perspective.

The synthesis of polymeric thermoset materials with spatially controlled physical properties using readily available resins is a grand challenge. To address this challenge, we developed a photoinitiated polymerization method that enables the spatial switching of radical and cationic polymerizations by controlling the dosage of monochromatic light. This method, which we call Switching Polymerizations by Light Titration (SPLiT), leverages the use of substoichiometric amounts of a photobuffer in combination with traditional photoacid generators.

Photoacid generators (PAGs) and photohydride generators (PHGs) are specific photolabile protecting groups that release acid and hydride, respectively. Over the past decade, great efforts have been devoted to developing novel PAGs and PHGs with advanced efficiency, among which, two of the promising candidates are diarylethene (DAE)-based PAGs and PHGs, which release acids/hydrides during photochromic electrocyclization. The release quantum yield for PAGs is acceptable, while that of PHGs is only 4.

Light-switchable buffer solutions based on merocyanine photoacids can be used as efficient photoenergy harvesting systems. Varying the solvation environment of merocyanine photoacids in water-methanol mixtures allows one to carefully tune their photoacidity, relaxation kinetics, and solubility, opening up the possibility to install persistent pH gradients of approximately 4 pH units under 500 nm light. When interfaced between two electrodes and exposed to asymmetric light irradiation, these solutions can be photoactivated precisely both in space and time, generating open circuit voltages as high as 240 mV that can last hours under steady-state irradiation - an outcome that is akin the peak performance of biological transmembrane proton pumps.
