Expansion–contraction of photoresponsive artificial muscle regulated by host–guest interactions
The development of stimulus-responsive polymeric materials is of great importance, especially for the development of remotely manipulated materials not in direct contact with an actuator. Here we design a photoresponsive supramolecular actuator by integrating host-guest interactions and photoswitching ability in a hydrogel. A photoresponsive supramolecular hydrogel with α-cyclodextrin as a host...

Two supramolecular complexes of trans-1⊂CB[8] and trans-2⊂CB[8] were successfully achieved by the controlled selective complexation process of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) with hetero-guest pair containing azobenzene and bispyridinium moieties in aqueous solution, exhibiting the reversibly light-driven movements of CB[8] upon the photocontrollable isomerization of azophenyl axle components. Signific...

Reversibly-photoswitchable gold nanoparticles containing azobenzene and exhibiting a light response "virtually identical" to that of the free chromophore were achieved by self-assembling a host-guest inclusion complex between alpha-cyclodextrin and an azobenzene-terminated alkanethiol in an aqueous medium.
متن کاملOptical control over bioactive ligands at supramolecular surfaces.
In this communication we report for the first time the use of azobenzene modified glycoconjugates to establish optical control over bioactive ligands at a supramolecular β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) surface. Several studies were conducted to investigate the photoresponsive immobilization of proteins and bacteria on these supramolecular surfaces.

Deoxyribonucleic acids are recognized not only as biomolecules encoding genetic information but also as structural materials in nanotechnology due to their supramolecular properties. The ability to control DNA properties artificially using external stimuli offers great potential for a wide variety of applications. Among external stimuli, light has several advantages: (1) unlike molecular stimul...
