The photosensitive unit and conjugation play a significant role in   photocatalytic performance of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). In this work, a series of COFs that introduced the phenyl phenanthridine as photosensitive unit with different planarity of linkages were synthesized and the common regulation between them for photocatalysis hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was also studied. The results indicate that DHTB-PPD, with 2/3 planarity linkages (β-ketoenamine/imine is 2/3) and the phenyl phenanthridine as building blocks, shows the narrowest bandgap and the strongest charge separation efficiency. Therefore, it shows the highest H production rate of 12.13 mmol g h. The optimal photocatalytic efficiency of DTHB-PPD can be attributed to the combined effect of the photosensitive unit and the long-range ordering of the COF skeleton. According to The Density Functional Theory (DFT), the O site on β-ketoamine is the most possible H generation site, but the photocatalytic efficiency of TP-PPD, with the highest skeletal conjugation and the highest proportion of β-ketoamine is not the most efficient photocatalyst, indicating that the long-range ordering of COFs is important on photocatalytic performance. Thus, these findings provide valuable guidance for the structural design of COFs photocatalysts.

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by progressive cognitive and motor decline, epilepsy, visual impairment, and shortened life-expectancy. CLN6-related NCLs include both late-infantile and adult myoclonic form. We report a 21-year-old patient, with mild developmental delay, who developed occipital seizures at 14 years, and subsequently cognitive decline, cortical myoclonus, and photosensitivity at low and higher frequencies.

Bioorthogonalized light-responsive click-and-uncage platform has enabled precise cell surface engineering and timed payload release, but most of such photoactivatable prodrugs have "always-on" photoactivity leading to the dark toxicity. On the other hand, the conditionally activatable photocage is limited to the application of fluorogenic probe/photosensitizer liberation. Herein, we devise a conditionally activatable theranostic platform based on the tetrazine (Tz)-boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) construct, in which tetrazine serves as a quencher motif to disable both the fluorescence and photoresponsivity of BODIPY.

A new negative-working photoinitiator-free polyimide was developed for photolithographic processes. The polyimide introduced a photosensitive benzophenone unit into the backbone and a cross-linking group (methacrylate) into the side chains. A novel pre-functionalized diamine monomer was designed to avoid using corrosive sulfonyl chloride in the polyimide side-chain introduction step.

Sepsis is a prevalent form of acute and critical illness encountered in intensive care unit (ICU), characterized by a high mortality and cognitive impairments among survivors. The pathogenesis of sepsis primarily involves immune dysfunction and excessive oxidative stress. Consequently, immune modulation, along with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant strategies, has emerged as a focal point in the treatment of sepsis.
