Altering the Properties of Spiropyran Switches Using Coordination Cages with Different Symmetries

Jinhua Wang et al.

Summary: The symmetry of the cage has a dramatic effect on the equilibrium and photo-switching of the encapsulated spiropyran guests. The different symmetries of the coordination cages lead to selective stabilization and reversible photoswitching between the two isomers of spiropyran. This finding is utilized to create a time-sensitive information storage medium with tunable lifetimes.

Dissipative self-assembly of a proline catalyst for temporal regulation of the aldol reaction

Thomas J. Reardon et al.

Summary: The spatiotemporal regulation of chemical reactivity in biological systems permits a network of metabolic reactions to take place within the same cellular environment. The challenge is to create strategies that couple the energy consumption needed to promote a molecule to a higher energy, assembled state to a functional property such as catalytic activity. In this work, the assembly of a spiropyran (SP) dipeptide transiently promoted the proline-catalyzed aldol reaction in water when visible light was present as fuel. The transient catalytic activity emerged from the spiropyran dipeptide under light illumination due to the photoisomerization of the monomeric, O-protonated merocyanine form to the spiropyran state, which rapidly assembled into nanosheets capable of catalyzing the aldol reaction in water.
