To study the switching properties of photochromes, we undertook the synthesis and characterization of several ruthenium organometallic complexes of the type [Ru(Cp*)(dppe)(C≡C-SP)] or [Ru(CO)(dppe)(PPh)Cl(CH═CH-SP)], where SP = spiropyran. The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the complexes were determined by careful cyclic voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical experiments. Whereas the mononuclear alkynyl ruthenium complexes undergo one-electron oxidations localized over the metal alkynyl moiety, the oxidation of the mononuclear vinyl ruthenium complexes is centered on the indoline moiety of the spiropyran. Through these studies, we demonstrate access to several stable redox states, in addition to switching states attained via acidochromism and/or photoisomerization.

Poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB) is a high-performance, well-recyclable, and biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). However, conventional bioproduction of homopolymeric P4HB involves complex and costly processes with C4 feedstocks, particularly 1,4-butanediol (BDO), and enzyme-coenzyme systems in genetically engineered bacteria. An alternative extracellular chemical route utilizing aerial oxidation of BDO offers cost and energy benefits but struggle with conversion efficiency.

In light of the extensive applications of sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds in drug discovery, agrochemicals, and advanced materials, the construction of complex sulfur-containing molecular scaffolds has flourished in recent years. There is a profound interest in synthetic methods for forming carbon-sulfur bonds. Regarding this, transition metal (TM)-catalyzed C-H bond activation has emerged as a valuable means for the rapid formation of C-S bonds, although it is comparatively less explored than C-N or C-C bonds.
