Light-controlled mass formation of aggregates of molecules in organic compounds

During the mass formation of aggregates of molecules in a gelatin film dyed with the mixture of chrysophenine and acridine yellow dyes, photo-reorientation, photo-disorientation, and photo-orientation of the molecules are observed. Based on these observations, the photo-induction of granular aniso tropy may be realized.

Asymmetric reversible structural switching of a diene coordination polymer promoted by UV-visible light

In natural and artificial systems,reversible reactions are commonly asymmetric with respect to the time scale and nature of the stimuli which drive the forward and backward processes.In applications for which switching behavior is required,it is desirable that the reversible reaction goes as close to symmetric as possible;however,such systems are uncommon.Herein,we report an example of ultraviolet(UV)-visible light-regulated asymmetric reversible structural switching involving a diene-based coordination polymer,CP1 and its monocyclobutane product,CP1a.It is possible to cycle at least ten times through a forward [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction and the reverse,photocleavage reaction.A single cycle can be completed within a few minutes.The transformation is accompanied by fast and distinct fluorescence changes,arising from optimisation of the reaction conditions.Density functional theory calculations allow rationalisation of the asymmetric reversible transformation between CP1 and CP1a rather than between CP1 and its dicyclobutane product CP1b.This work provides a clear illustration of reversible structural switching which approaches symmetric behaviour with respect to reaction rate and stimuli.The insights gained from this work also assist in the design of fast,reversible switching materials.

Light-controllable time-domain digital coding metasurfaces

Programmable metasurfaces enable real-time control of electromagnetic waves in a digital coding manner,which are suitable for implementing time-domain metasurfaces with strong harmonic manipulation capabilities.However,the time-domain metasurfaces are usually realized by adopting the wired electrical control method,which is effective and robust,but there are still some limitations.Here,we propose a light-controllable time-domain digital coding metasurface consisting of a full-polarization dynamic metasurface and a high-speed photoelectric detection circuit,from which the microwave reflection spectra are manipulated by time-varying light signals with periodic phase modulations.As demonstrated,the light-controllable timedomain digital coding metasurface is illuminated by the light signals with two designed time-coding sequences.The measured results show that the metasurface can well generate symmetrical harmonics and white-noise-like spectra,respectively,under such cases in the reflected wave.The proposed lightcontrollable time-varying metasurface offers a planar interface to tailor and link microwaves with lights in the time domain,which could promote the development of photoelectric hybrid metasurfaces and related multiphysics applications.

Hydrogen Sulfide-Specific and NIR-Light-Controllable Synergistic Activation of Fluorescent Theranostic Prodrugs for Imaging-Guided Chemo- Photothermal Cancer Therapy

Theranostic prodrugs are promising for cancer medicine;however,the inability to activate these systems exclusively at the desired tumor location compromises the specificity and efficacy of cancer treatment.Here,we developed a fluorescent theranostic nanoprodrug with synergistic hydrogen-sulfidespecific and near-infrared(NIR)-light-controllable activation for imaging-guided chemo-photothermal cancer therapy.This nanoprodrug system was fabricated by the inclusion of hydrogen sulfide(H2S)-activatable small molecule to the theranostic prodrug and a photothermal transducer in the interior of a NIR-light-responsive container.

Molar Mass Dispersity Control by lodine-mediated Reversibledeactivation Radical Polymerization

Dispersity(D)of polymers has a great effect on the properties of polymeric materials,and therefore how to control θ is very important but still a huge challenge in polymer synthesis,especially for reversible-deactivation radical polymerization(RDRP)strategy.Herein,we successfully developed a novel strategy to adjust D of polymers by visible light-controlled reversible complexation mediated living radical polymerizatio n(RCMP)and combi nation of single-electron transfer-degenerative chain tran sfer living radical polymerization(SET-DTLRP)at room temperature.In RCMP system,2-iodo-2-methylpropionitrile(CP-I)and ethyl 2-iodo-2-phenylacetate(EIPA)were used as alkyl iodide initiators,by using methyl methacrylate(MMA)as the model monomer and n-butylacrylate(BA)as the end-capping reagent to regulate D of polymers.Subsequently,we successfully prepared the block copolymer PMMA-b-PBA with adjustable D by reactivating the polymer end-chains via SET-DTLRP in the presence of copper wire,fully dem on strati ng that it is a promising strategy that can keep the"living"feature of polymers while regulating their molar mass dispersities easily.
