Immobilization of a photoswitchable piperidine base.
The synthesis of a photoswitchable piperidine base, carrying a monochlorosilane anchoring group, and its immobilization on silica gel, mimicking an oxide surface, is reported. Efficient photoswitching between the E and Z isomers of the azobenzene photochrome was demonstrated for the immobilization precursor in solution and the immobilized piperidine base in suspension of the functionalized sili...
متن کاملRewriteable Photoalignment of Liquid Crystals as a Route to High-Laser-Damage- Threshold Active Beam Shapers
The fabrication of rewriteable liquid crystal (LC) cells using high-damage-threshold photoswitchable azobenzene materials has been investigated as a route to all-optical active beam shapers. Beam shapers are used to modulate the intensity profile of OMEGA EP's petawatt-peak-power laser beams. All-optical photoswitchable beam shapers would allow intensity profile tailoring to occur at higher-flu...
متن کاملLet there be light: how to use photoswitchable cross-linker to reprogram proteins.
Azobenzene is a photo-isomerizing molecule whose end-to-end distance changes upon external illumination. When combined with site-specific reactive groups, it can be used as molecular tweezers to remote-control the structure and function of protein targets. The present study gives a brief overview over the rational design strategies that use an azobenzene-based photoswitchable cross-linker to en...
متن کاملPhotochromic Torsional Switch (PTS): a light-driven actuator for the dynamic tuning of π-conjugation extension.
Here we present a molecular architecture that can reversibly change the geometric conformation of its π-system backbone via irradiation with two different wavelengths. The proposed 'molecular actuator' consists of a photoswitchable azobenzene orthogonally connected to a π-conjugated bithiophene by both direct and aliphatic linker-assisted bonding. Upon exposure to 350 nm light, the trans azoben...
متن کاملAzobenzene Modified Imidacloprid Derivatives as Photoswitchable Insecticides: Steering Molecular Activity in a Controllable Manner
Incorporating the photoisomerizable azobenzene into imidacloprid produced a photoswitchable insecticidal molecule as the first neonicotinoid example of remote control insecticide performance with spatiotemporal resolution. The designed photoswitchable insecticides showed distinguishable activity against Musca both in vivo and in vitro upon irradiation. Molecular docking study further suggested ...
