The thermodynamically unstable, colourless closed-ring isomer of spiropyran can be stabilized in water by the anti-configurational isomer of amide naphthotube. The influence of the binding on the thermodynamics and kinetics of spiropyran have been studied. The complex was further used to prepare a test paper that allows naked-eye detection of toxic paraoxon.

Article Synopsis
- - The development of stimuli-responsive chiral cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) is crucial for creating advanced 3D anti-counterfeiting and multi-level encryption technologies, yet challenges remain in achieving fast and easy fabrication of phototunable systems.
- - Researchers introduced a new material called excitation-dependent CLCs (ExD-CLCs) that utilizes two contrasting achiral dyes to create a dynamic photoresponsive effect, resulting in a reversible change in circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) signals with varying light excitation.
- - The successful modulation of CPL signals through this dichroic competition allows the ExD-CLCs to be utilized for sophisticated anti-counterfeiting techniques, demonstrating potential applications in secure information encoding.
A Visible-Light-Responsive Fluorescent Diarylethene Having a Betaine Structure.

As a new molecular scaffold of photoswitchable fluorophore, we developed a photochromic diarylethene containing a betaine structure based on pyridinium N-enolate. A facile reaction of a pyridyl-substituted dithienylperfluorocyclopentene derivative with octafluorocyclopentene constructed the betaine structure. The introduction of the betaine moiety provided the diarylethene molecule with bathochromically shifted optical absorption and fluorescing ability, thus enabling the molecule to function as a visible-light-responsive turn-off mode photoswitchable fluorophore.

Resveratrol is well-known for promoting health benefits due to its antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic, and other beneficial activities. Understanding the photophysics of resveratrol is essential for determining its applicability to pharmaceutical innovations. In the present work, we used an explore-then-assess strategy to map the internal conversion pathways of -resveratrol.

Exploring novel molecular photoswitches plays a crucial role in the field of photo-functional materials chemistry. In this study, we synthesized aza-diarylethenes with benzothiophene-S,S-dioxide as a part of the hexatriene structure and investigated their photochromic properties. Unlike previously reported aza-diarylethenes, which exhibit fast thermally reversible photochromism, the compounds synthesized here exhibited pseudo-photochemically reversible photochromism.

Light-responsive hydrogel systems have gained significant attention due to their unique ability to undergo controlled and reversible swelling behavior in response to light stimuli. Combining light-responsive hydrogels with nonresponsive polymers offers a unique self-folding feature that can be used in soft robotic actuator designs. However, simple formulation of such systems with rapid response time is still a challenging task.
