Robust visible light photoswitching with ortho-thiol substituted azobenzenes.
Introduction of S-ethyl groups in all four ortho positions of azobenzene prevents reduction of the azo group by intracellular glutathione, while enhancing the absorptivity to ~10,000 M(-1) cm(-1) in the blue and green regions of the visible spectrum. cis-to-trans isomerization occurs thermally on the minutes timescale. Further, this substitution pattern permits switching with red light, a color...
متن کاملVisible light promoted thiol-ene reactions using titanium dioxide.
The radical addition of thiols to alkenes is reported under photoredox conditions, using visible light and TiO2 as a cheap and readily available photocatalyst.
متن کاملVisible-light-initiated thiol-acrylate photopolymerization of heparin-based hydrogels.
An in situ heparin-based forming hydrogel that cures under visible-light is formulated using eosin Y as a photoinitiator with triethanolamine as an electron donor to initiate reaction of thiolated-heparin with acrylate-ended poly(ethylene glycol). Formulations and irradiation conditions are presented for control of heparin content (1.6 to 3.3% w/v), modulus (100-10,000 Pa), and gelation time (3...
متن کاملOrthogonal light-induced self-assembly of nanoparticles using differently substituted azobenzenes.
Precise control of the self-assembly of selected components within complex mixtures is a challenging goal whose realization is important for fabricating novel nanomaterials. Herein we show that by decorating the surfaces of metallic nanoparticles with differently substituted azobenzenes, it is possible to modulate the wavelength of light at which the self-assembly of these nanoparticles is indu...
متن کاملAzobenzene photoswitching without ultraviolet light.
Most azobenzene-based photoswitches use UV light for photoisomerization. This can limit their application in biological systems, where UV light can trigger unwanted responses, including cellular apoptosis. We have found that substitution of all four ortho positions with methoxy groups in an amidoazobenzene derivative leads to a substantial (~35 nm) red shift of the n-π* band of the trans isomer...
