Inspired by the application of dopamine as an "anchor" and UV absorber, novel sustainable colorants with biscatecholic structure were synthesized through a simple incorporation of simple azo chromophores with dopamine. Their structures were confirmed using MS and NMR analyses, and their application on textile materials was investigated. Compared to the simple azo chromophores with almost no coloring ability on fabrics, the biscatecholic colorants could color different fabrics effectively, mainly through self-polymerization only in the presence of a trace amount of organic base at room temperature, which is environmentally friendly in terms of saving resources and alleviating chemical pollution. Meanwhile, the UV resistance of colored fabrics was enhanced significantly, showing the advantage of protecting wearers from UV damage.

The widespread use of synthetic dyes has led to the release of substantial amounts of dye-contaminated wastewater, posing significant environmental and health concerns. This study focuses on the use of anodic and electrochemically activated persulfate oxidation for the degradation of organic contaminants. Specifically, the structural variations of nine dyes in the indigoid and azo families, and their impact on the efficiency of electrochemical oxidation were analysed.

Azo-compounds molecules and phase change materials offer potential applications for sustainable energy systems through the storage and controllable release photochemical and phase change energy. Developing novel and highly efficient Azo-based solar thermal fuels (STFs) for photothermal energy storage and synergistic cooperation with organic phase change materials present significant challenges. Herein, three types of (ortho-, meta-, and para-) azopyridine polymers hinged with flexible alkyl chain are synthesized, in which meta-azopyridine polymer exhibits striking photothermal storage capacity of 430 J/g, providing a feasibility solution for developing high energy density Azo-based STFs.

The colorless and odorless nerve agents can cause paralysis and even death. The development of novel composite-based microporous strips has allowed for the rapid and visual detection of diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate (DIPF) nerve agent mimics. The active methyl-containing tricyanofuran and 4-aminobenzotrifluoride diazonium salt were azo-coupled in a straightforward manner to produce a new benzotrifluoride (BFT)-comprising tricyanofuran (TCF) hydrazone colorimetric probe.

However, the requirement of appropriate PSs with optimum excited state properties is a prerequisite for this approach which limits its widespread application. Herein, we report the generation of O (aΔ) direct charge-transfer (CT) excitation of the solvent-O (XΣ ) collision complex without any PS and utilize it for the catalyst-free oxidative coupling of arylamines to azoaromatics under ambient conditions in aqueous medium.

ConspectusLight is ubiquitously available to probe the structure and dynamics of biomolecules and biological tissues. Generally, this cannot be done directly with visible light, because of the absence of absorption by those biomolecules. This problem can be overcome by incorporating organic molecules (chromophores) that show an optical response in the vicinity of those biomolecules.
