Fluorescence photoswitching based on a photochromic pKa change in an aqueous solution.

چکیده
Reversible fluorescence photoswitching of RSA-AZO dyad 1 was clearly demonstrated in an acidic aqueous solution. The fluorescence photoswitching mechanism is based on the reversible ring opening/closing reactions of the RSA unit induced by a photochromic pK(a) change along with the photoisomerization of the AZO unit.

Quantum mechanics investigation of acid dissociation constant of carboxylic acids in aqueous solution
According to the Bronsted definition, any compound which has a hydrogen atom is an acid, since itmay be lost as a proton. A thermodynamical cycle is proposed to calculate absolute pKa values forBronsted acids in aqueous solution. The equilibrium of dissociation of a Bronsted acid depends onthe interaction of the acid and its conjugate base with solvent molecules. There fore the pKa valuedepends...
متن کاملA photochromic supramolecular polymer based on bis-p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene recognition in aqueous solution.
A photochromic supramolecular polymer based on bis-p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene recognition with a dithienylethene derivative in aqueous solution was fabricated. The resultant polymer showed good photochromic behaviour with obvious colour switching and a morphology change under alternative UV/Vis light stimuli.

Photochromic compounds reversibly change not only the absorption spectra but also their geometrical and electronic structures. This principle can be applied for the photoswitching of the physical properties of the molecular materials. In particular, photoswitching of the flow of information through the molecule is interesting because information processing using molecular devices is attracting ...
متن کاملA photochromic and thermochromic fluorescent protein
Photochromism is a change of colour induced by irradiation with light, while thermochromism is a change of colour due to a change of temperature. Both photochromism and thermochromism have been observed in inorganic and organic compounds, however thermochromism is much less common in biological systems. One mechanism by which molecular photochromism can occur is a photo-induced isomerization to...
متن کاملA structural basis for reversible photoswitching of absorbance spectra in red fluorescent protein rsTagRFP.
rsTagRFP is the first monomeric red fluorescent protein (FP) with reversibly photoswitchable absorbance spectra. The switching is realized by irradiation of rsTagRFP with blue (440 nm) and yellow (567 nm) light, turning the protein fluorescence ON and OFF, respectively. It is perhaps the most useful probe in this color class that has yet been reported. Because of the photoswitchable absorbance,...
