A series of triphenylethylene derivatives exhibited multi-photoresponsive properties, including photochromism, photodeformation and room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), which are strongly related to molecular conformations and packing in the aggregated states. Accordingly, these properties can be subtly adjusted by substituents to the center double bond and/or peripheral phenyl moieties. The introduction of bromine atom was beneficial to photochromism and photodeformation properties as a result of the additional C-H⋯Br interactions and electron-withdrawing property. Also, it can promote the RTP effect heavy atom effect, resulting in persistent afterglow lasting up to 150 min as detected by chemiluminescent imaging system.

Bioinspired smart materials with synergistic allochroic luminescence and complex deformation are expected to play an important role in many areas of science and technology. However, it is still challenging to fabricate such soft actuators with high programmability that can be manipulated in situ with high spatial resolution. Herein, we have incorporated terminally functionalized aggregation-induced emission active tetraphenylethene derivative and photochromic spiropyran moieties into the networks of liquid crystal elastomers through covalent bonding to obtain the synergistic photochromic luminescence and programmable soft actuators.

The fabrication of hybrid core-shell nanoassemblies involving a nondoped azo photochromic core coated with a dense shell of gold nanoparticles is reported to investigate the influence of localized plasmons onto the azo core photoisomerization. Photochromic organic nanoparticles, regarded as a novel class of high-density photoswitchable nanomaterials, are first elaborated upon precipitation in water of push-pull azo molecules, containing sulfur-terminated units to chelate gold nanoparticles. Photoisomerization studies of the azo nanoparticles reveal significantly higher E → Z photoconversion yields and Z → E thermal back relaxation rate constants compared to those of dyes processed as thin films and in solution, respectively.
