Incorporation of photoresponsive molecules within soft materials can provide spatiotemporal control over bulk properties and address challenges in targeted delivery and mechanical variability. However, the kinetics of in situ photochemical reactions are often slow and typically employ ultraviolet wavelengths. Here, we present a novel photoactive crosslinker Ru(bipyridine)<sub>2</sub> (3-pyridinaldehyde)<sub>2</sub> (RuAldehyde), which was reacted with hydrazide-functionalized hyaluronic acid to ...[more]
