A Fluorescent Turn-On Sensor Toward Multiple Heavy Metal Ions Based on Meso-anisole Modified BODIPY Scaffold

Xiaochuan Li et al.

Summary: A fluorescent turn-on sensor (BOPA) was developed by anchoring the DPA unit to the BODIPY scaffold. The sensor exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity towards Pb2+, Ba2+, Cr3+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Zn2+ ions. The fluorescence emission of BODIPY was restored through coordination of metal ions by DPA.

Molecular-Switch-Embedded Solution-Processed Semiconductors

Seong Hoon Yu et al.

Summary: Recent improvements in solution-processed semiconductor materials and optoelectronic devices have led to a growing interest in diversifying and advancing their functionality. This review focuses on the embedding of molecular switches in semiconductors, which can transition between different isomers upon light stimuli, allowing for multifunctionality in optoelectronic devices. The review classifies the mechanisms of each optoelectronic transition driven by molecular switches, regardless of the type of semiconductor material or switch. It also discusses the basic characteristics of molecular switches and the persistent technical and scientific issues associated with each mechanism.

Strong dual-state emission of unsymmetrical and symmetrical thiazolothiazole-bridged imidazolium salts

Puhui Xie et al.

Summary: A novel derivative of thiazolothiazole-bridged imidazole was discovered to exhibit blue fluorescence in gaseous state or in methanol and yellow fluorescence in solid state. The N-alkylation of imidazole sub-unit(s) generated highly water-soluble alkylated imidazolium salts with strong emission in solution. By replacing the counter-anion, the salts achieved strong emission and good water solubility in solid state and in solution, attributed to their twisted and rigid structures induced by interionic C-H···F hydrogen bonding.

All-Red-Light Photoswitching of Indirubin Controlled by Supramolecular Interactions

Stefan Thumser et al.

Summary: This study introduces a strategy to convert the long-known purple indirubin dye into a prolific red-light-responsive photoswitch, achieving a change in photochromism and higher yields of the E-isomer upon irradiation. Additionally, red light of longer wavelengths can induce E to Z photoisomerization, making indirubin a unique example of reversible photoswitching using entirely red light for both switching directions.
