The present manuscript discusses the design, synthesis, and stimuli-responsive solid-state properties of two novel flavin analogues, Phenyl Flavin (PhFl) and Pyridinyl Flavin (PyFl), featuring covalently linked phenyl and pyridinyl rings to isoalloxazine. Stimuli-responsive properties of PhFl and PyFl were examined, where PyFl displayed more pronounced and reversible emissive behavior in the solid state in response to external stimuli. To elucidate the mechanism underlying the mode for switching behavior, single crystal- and powder-X-ray diffraction, as well as differential scanning calorimetry studies, were performed. Furthermore, a simple dip-in method was used to demonstrate its usage as ink free rewritable material.

The design of biomaterials that can reconfigure on-demand in response to external stimuli is an emerging area in materials research. However, achieving reversible assembly of protein-based biomaterials by light input remains a major challenge. Here, we present the engineering of a new protein material that is capable of switching between liquid and solid state reversibly, controlled by lights of different wavelengths.

Self-organization under out-of-equilibrium conditions is ubiquitous in natural systems for the generation of hierarchical solid-state patterns of complex structures with intricate properties. Efforts in applying this strategy to synthetic materials that mimic biological function have resulted in remarkable demonstrations of programmable self-healing and adaptive materials. However, the extension of these efforts to multifunctional stimuli-responsive solid-state materials across defined spatial distributions remains an unrealized technological opportunity.

Supramolecular self-assembly is an advanced approach for constructing ordered nanoscale architectures with broad applications. While the principles of supramolecular polymerization have been thoroughly explored in artificial small molecules, polymer transformations remain barely explored, likely due to the lack of suitable reference models presenting well-defined and reversible transitions between aggregates. In this study, we introduce a series of bisdendronized squaramides (SQs) 1-3, showcasing complex self-assembly behaviours involving four distinct aggregates, three different interaction patterns, and various thermodynamically controlled polymorph transformations.

π-Spacer Engineering: Driving Near-infrared Aggregation Induced-emission and Mechanofluorochromism in Carbazole-biscyanostilbenes.

Chemistry

January 2025

Main group Organometallics Optoelectronic Materials and Catalysis lab, Department of Chemistry, National Institute of Technology, Calicut, 673601, India.

In this study, we report the design and synthesis of two novel carbazole-based bis-cyanostilbenes incorporating phenyl and thiophene π-spacer units to investigate their distinct impacts on photophysical properties. Notably, the thiophene-based derivative exhibits remarkable far-red/near-infrared (NIR) solid-state emission, with an emission peak at 732 nm, which shifts to 750 nm upon mechanical grinding, demonstrating pronounced mechanochromic fluorescence in the NIR region. Although its quantum yield is moderate, the ability to modulate its emission through mechanical stimuli opens exciting opportunities for stimuli-responsive NIR applications.
