Dynamic photo-switching in light-responsive JUC-62 for CO 2 capture.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we demonstrate the highly efficient photo-switching ability of a Cu-azobenzene tetracarboxylate MOF (JUC-62) for low-energy CO2 capture. Under UV light irradiation, both at 273 and 298?K, JUC-62 showed 51% and 34% lower CO2 uptake, respectively, than when UV light was off. Its dynamic CO2 uptake also matched well with its static condition. Storing it at ambient condition was also found not to destroy its framework structure and its dynamic photoswitching property could still be maintained.

Light Regulation of Enzyme Allostery through Photo-responsive Unnatural Amino Acids.

Project description:Imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase (ImGPS) is an allosteric bienzyme complex in which substrate binding to the synthase subunit HisF stimulates the glutaminase subunit HisH. To control this stimulation with light, we have incorporated the photo-responsive unnatural amino acids phenylalanine-4'-azobenzene (AzoF), o-nitropiperonyl-O-tyrosine (NPY), and methyl-o-nitropiperonyllysine (mNPK) at strategic positions of HisF. The light-mediated isomerization of AzoF at position 55 (fS55AzoFE ↔ fS55AzoFZ) resulted in a reversible 10-fold regulation of HisH activity. The light-mediated decaging of NPY at position 39 (fY39NPY → fY39) and of mNPK at position 99 (fK99mNPK → fK99) led to a 4- to 6-fold increase of HisH activity. Molecular dynamics simulations explained how the unnatural amino acids interfere with the allosteric machinery of ImGPS and revealed additional aspects of HisH stimulation in wild-type ImGPS. Our findings show that unnatural amino acids can be used as a powerful tool for the spatiotemporal control of a central metabolic enzyme complex by light.

Near-infrared light-responsive dynamic wrinkle patterns.

Project description:Dynamic micro/nanopatterns provide an effective approach for on-demand tuning of surface properties to realize a smart surface. We report a simple yet versatile strategy for the fabrication of near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive dynamic wrinkles by using a carbon nanotube (CNT)-containing poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer as the substrate for the bilayer systems, with various functional polymers serving as the top stiff layers. The high photon-to-thermal energy conversion of CNT leads to the NIR-controlled thermal expansion of the elastic CNT-PDMS substrate, resulting in dynamic regulation of the applied strain (?) of the bilayer system by the NIR on/off cycle to obtain a reversible wrinkle pattern. The switchable surface topological structures can transfer between the wrinkled state and the wrinkle-free state within tens of seconds via NIR irradiation. As a proof-of-concept application, this type of NIR-driven dynamic wrinkle pattern was used in smart displays, dynamic gratings, and light control electronics.

Photo-Reduction of CO? by VIS Light on Polythiophene-ZSM-5 Zeolite Hybrid Photo-Catalyst.

Project description:A new hybrid photo-catalyst based on ZSM-5 zeolite suitable for reduction of carbon dioxide was synthesized. The photo-catalyst was prepared by oxidative polymerization of thiophene with FeCl? in the presence of ZSM-5 with participation of ultrasound. The synthesized photo-catalyst strongly absorbs light radiation up to approx. 650 nm, with the absorption edge in the NIR region. Reactive radicals were generated by VIS light irradiation in an aqueous suspension consisting of the photo-catalyst with CO?. Formic acid and acetic acid were generated as the main products of the CO? reduction. EPR spin trapping technique was applied to identify the reactive radical intermediates. In this work, the mechanism of product formation is also discussed.

Light-triggered Supramolecular Isomerism in a Self-catenated Zn(II)-organic Framework: Dynamic Photo-switching CO2 Uptake and Detection of Nitroaromatics.

Project description:A self-catenated Zn(II)-organic framework formulated as [Zn2(3,3'-bpeab)(oba)2]·DMF (1) exhibiting a six-connected 4(4)·6(10)·8 topology has been successfully synthesized through the mixed-ligand of kinked 3,3'-bis[2-(4-pyridyl)ethenyl]azobenzene (3,3'-bpeab) and 4,4'-oxybis-benzoic acid (H2oba) under solvothermal condition. UV light triggers isomerization of complex 1 in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) manner, giving rise to a conformational supramolecular isomer 1_UV through the pedal motion of photoresponsive double bonds. Dynamic photo-switching in the obtained light-responsive supramolecular isomers leads to instantly reversible CO2 uptake. Furthermore, the ligand originated fluorescence emission of water-resistant complex 1 is selectively sensitive to 4-nitrotoluene (4-NT) owing to a higher quenching efficiency of the perilous explosive over other structurally similar nitroaromatics, prefiguring the potentials of 1 as a fluorescence sensor towards 4-NT in aquatic media.

Reversible photo-control over transmembrane anion transport using visible-light responsive supramolecular carriers.

Project description:Ion transport across lipid bilayer membranes in biology is controlled by membrane proteins, which in turn are regulated in response to chemical-, physical- and photo-stimuli. The design of synthetic supramolecular ion transporters able to be precisely controlled by external signals, in particular bio-compatible wavelengths of visible light, is key for achieving spatio-temporal control over function. Here we report two-colour responsive molecular photo-switches that act as supramolecular transmembrane anion carriers. Reversible switching of the photo-switch within the lipid bilayer membrane is achieved using biocompatible visible wavelengths of light, such that temporal control over transmembrane anion transport is achieved through alternating irradiation with red and blue light.

Near infrared-light responsive WS2 microengines with high-performance electro- and photo-catalytic activities.

Project description:Tungsten disulfide (WS2)-based micromotors with enhanced electrochemical and photo-catalytic activities are synthesized using a greatly simplified electrochemical deposition protocol at room temperature involving exclusively tungstic acid and sulfate as metal and sulfur sources without further building chemistry. The WS2-based micromotors exhibit dual electrochemical and photo-catalytic behavior in the inner and outer layers, respectively, due to the combination of the unique properties of the sp2 hybridized WS2 outer layer with highly reactive WS2-induced inner catalytic layers, accounting for this material's exclusive enhanced performances. A rough inner Pt-Ni layer allows tailoring the micromotor propulsion, with a speed increase of up to 1.6 times after external control of the micromotor with a magnetic field due to enhanced fuel accessibility. Such a coupling of the attractive capabilities of WS2 with enhanced micromotor movement holds considerable promise to address the growing energy crisis and environmental pollution concerns.

Photo-responsive Helical Motion by Light-Driven Molecular Motors in a Liquid-Crystal Network.

Project description:Controlling sophisticated motion by molecular motors is a major goal on the road to future actuators and soft robotics. Taking inspiration from biological motility and mechanical functions common to artificial machines, responsive small molecules have been used to achieve macroscopic effects, however, translating molecular movement along length scales to precisely defined linear, twisting and rotary motions remain particularly challenging. Here, we present the design, synthesis and functioning of liquid-crystal network (LCN) materials with intrinsic rotary motors that allow the conversion of light energy into reversible helical motion. In this responsive system the photochemical-driven molecular motor has a dual function operating both as chiral dopant and unidirectional rotor amplifying molecular motion into a controlled and reversible left- or right-handed macroscopic twisting movement. By exploiting the dynamic chirality, directionality of motion and shape change of a single motor embedded in an LC-network, complex mechanical motions including bending, walking and helical motion, in soft polymer materials are achieved which offers fascinating opportunities toward inherently photo-responsive materials.

Tunable photo-responsive elastic metamaterials.

Project description:The metamaterial paradigm has allowed an unprecedented space-time control of various physical fields, including elastic and acoustic waves. Despite the wide variety of metamaterial configurations proposed so far, most of the existing solutions display a frequency response that cannot be tuned, once the structures are fabricated. Few exceptions include systems controlled by electric or magnetic fields, temperature, radio waves and mechanical stimuli, which may often be unpractical for real-world implementations. To overcome this limitation, we introduce here a polymeric 3D-printed elastic metamaterial whose transmission spectrum can be deterministically tuned by a light field. We demonstrate the reversible doubling of the width of an existing frequency band gap upon selective laser illumination. This feature is exploited to provide an elastic-switch functionality with a one-minute lag time, over one hundred cycles. In perspective, light-responsive components can bring substantial improvements to active devices for elastic wave control, such as beam-splitters, switches and filters.

A Dynamic and Responsive Host in Action: Light-Controlled Molecular Encapsulation.

Project description:The rational design of a flexible molecular box, oAzoBox4+ , incoporating both photochromic and supramolecular recognition motifs is described. We exploit the E↔Z photoisomerization properties of azobenzenes to alter the shape of the cavity of the macrocycle upon absorption of light. Imidazolium motifs are used as hydrogen-bonding donor components, allowing for sequestration of small molecule guests in acetonitrile. Upon E→Z photoisomerization of oAzoBox4+ the guest is expelled from the macrocyclic cavity.

Light-induced decarboxylation in a photo-responsive iron-containing complex based on polyoxometalate and oxalato ligands.

Project description:A new photoresponsive molecular polyanion in which two Fe(iii) ions are simultaneously coordinated by two [A-?-PW9O34]9- polyoxometalate units and two oxalato ligands has been obtained. When irradiated with UV light its potassium salt, 1, exhibits a remarkable photocoloration effect, attributable to the partial reduction of the POM units to give rise to a mixed-valence species. The photoinduced process is intramolecular and involves electron transfer from the oxalato ligands, which partially decompose releasing CO2, towards the Fe(iii) and the POM. This mechanism has been confirmed by DRS, IR, XPS and Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetism and elemental analysis. An analogous derivative of 1 containing malonato ligands does not exhibit such photoactive behaviour, which is evidence that the oxalate ligand is essential for the photoactivity of 1. To our knowledge, 1 represents the first POM-based compound in which the photocoloration effect does not require the presence of intermolecular short interactions.
