Spiropyran as Building Block in Peptide Synthesis and Modulation of Photochromic Properties.

Project description:Light-controlled triggering of materials requires efficient embedding of molecular photoswitches into larger molecules. We herein present the synthesis of two new building blocks for the synthesis of photoswitchable peptides, embedding spiropyranes as a central unit into peptide-backbones via a novel, yet unreported approach. The synthesis presented here allows us to embed spiropyranes directly into solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), further describing the resulting photophysical properties of the as-prepared photoswitchable peptides.

Role of supramolecular polymers in photo-actuation of spiropyran hydrogels.

Project description:Supramolecular-covalent hybrid polymers have been shown to be interesting systems to generate robotic functions in soft materials in response to external stimuli. In recent work supramolecular components were found to enhance the speed of reversible bending deformations and locomotion when exposed to light. The role of morphology in the supramolecular phases integrated into these hybrid materials remains unclear. We report here on supramolecular-covalent hybrid materials that incorporate either high-aspect-ratio peptide amphiphile (PA) ribbons and fibers, or low-aspect-ratio spherical peptide amphiphile micelles into photo-active spiropyran polymeric matrices. We found that the high-aspect-ratio morphologies not only play a significant role in providing mechanical reinforcement to the matrix but also enhance photo-actuation for both light driven volumetric contraction and expansion of spiropyran hydrogels. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that water within the high-aspect-ratio supramolecular polymers exhibits a faster draining rate as compared to those in spherical micelles, which suggests that the high-aspect-ratio supramolecular polymers effectively facilitate the transport of trapped water molecules by functioning as channels and therefore enhancing actuation of the hybrid system. Our simulations provide a useful strategy for the design of new functional hybrid architectures and materials with the aim of accelerating response and enhancing actuation by facilitating water diffusion at the nanoscopic level.

Schiff base containing pyridine groups functionalized water-soluble phthalocyanine: Synthesis, photo-physicochemical properties, and bovine serum albumin binding behavior.

Project description:The novel pyridine bearing schiff base substituted metal-free (9), zinc(II) phthalocyanine (10), and its quaternized derivative (11) were designed and synthesized. These phthalocyanines were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, UV-Vis, MALDI-TOF, and 1H NMR). The photo-physicochemical properties of these phthalocyanines were investigated in both DMSO and DMF for 10 and in both DMSO and aqueous solution for 11. The addition of pyridine bearing Schiff base groups as peripheral ligands showed an improvement in the photophysical and photochemical properties. In addition, a spectroscopic investigation of the binding behavior of the water-soluble zinc (II) phthalocyanine complex to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was also studied in this work.

Photo-response behavior of electrospun nanofibers based on spiropyran-cyclodextrin modified polymer.

Project description:Tunable and durable photochromic materials are a rapidly expanding area of interest, with applications ranging from biomedical devices to industrial-fields. Here we examine electrospun poly (methacrylic acid) PMAA nanofibers covalently modified with the highly photochromic molecule, spiropyran (SP) or a derivate SP which is firstly coupled to a cyclodextrin molecule (βCDSP). The photochromic properties of the starting materials and of the nanofibers were investigated. βCDSP, PMAASP and PMAA-βCDSP polymers exhibited a reverse photochromism. The kinetic results revealed a faster isomerization process for the βCDSP molecule, than that for the PMAA-βCDSP and for the PMAASP, the slowest one. The fastest isomerization is attributed to the presence of a large number of hydroxyl groups of the βCD which stabilizes the merocyanine form via hydrogen bonding, and the slowest isomerization is related to the PMAA chain structure that stabilizes the spiropyran form. Thus, combining the PMAA and βCD properties the photo-isomerization can be modulated. The photoreversibility of this material was verified by UV-visible measurements cycling visible and UV light. Infrared spectroscopy and water contact angle were used for the nanofiber surface characterization, demonstrating the presence of the spiropyran on the mats surface and also showing a minimal effect on nanofiber size and shape when compared to PMAA fiber.

Diarylethene-Based Ionic Liquids: Synthesis and Photo-Driven Solution Properties.

Project description:In this work, the design and synthesis of a series of photochromic gemini diarylethene-based ionic liquids (GDILs) with different cationic motifs is reported. Several synthetic pathways were optimized for the formation of cationic GDILs with chloride as the counterion. The different cationic motifs were achieved through the N-alkylation of the photochromic organic core unit with different tertiary amines, including different aromatic amines such as imidazole derivatives and pyridinium, and other non-aromatic amines. These novel salts present surprising water solubility with unexplored photochromic features that broaden their known applications. The covalent attachment of the different side groups dictates their water solubility and differences upon photocyclization. The physicochemical properties of GDILs in aqueous and in imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) solutions were investigated. Upon irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) light, we have observed changes in the physico-chemical properties of distinct solutions containing these GDILs, at very low concentrations. More specifically, in aqueous solution, the overall conductivity increased with the time of UV photoirradiation. In contrast, in IL solution, these photoinducible changes are dependent on the type of ionic liquid used. These compounds can improve non-ionic and ionic liquids' solutions since we can change their properties, such as conductivity, viscosity or ionicity, only by UV photoirradiation. The electronic and conformational changes associated with these innovative stimuli GDILs may open new opportunities for their use as photoswitchable materials.

Conjugated Polymers Containing BODIPY and Fluorene Units for Sensitive Detection of CN- Ions: Site-Selective Synthesis, Photo-Physical and Electrochemical Properties.

Project description:Conjugated polymers containing distinct molecular units are expected to be very interesting because of their unique properties endowed by these units and the formed conjugated polymers. Herein, four new conjugated copolymers based on fluorene and 4,4'-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) have been designed and synthesized via Sonogashira polymerization. The fluorene unit was attached to the 3,5- or 2,6-positions of BODIPY by ethynylenes or p-diacetylenebenzene. The obtained polymers show good thermal stability and broad absorption in the wavelength range from 300 to 750 nm. The effects of site-selective copolymerization and conjugation length along the polymer backbone on the optoelectronic and electrochemical properties of these copolymers were systematically studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) and cyclic voltammetry. Besides, it is found that the BODIPY-based copolymers exhibit selectively sensitive responses to cyanide anions, resulting in obvious change of UV-Vis absorption spectra and significant fluorescence quenching of the polymers among various common anions.

Molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres containing photoswitchable spiropyran-based binding sites.

Project description:A versatile approach for the preparation of photoswitchable molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) is proposed where the selective recognition and the photoresponsive function are assumed by two different monomers. As a proof of concept, MIP microspheres were synthesized by precipitation polymerization for recognizing terbutylazine, a triazine-type herbicide. Formation of the selective binding sites was based upon H-bonding interactions between the template and the functional monomer methacrylic acid, whereas a polymerizable spiropyran unit was incorporated into the polymer matrix to provide light-controllable characteristics. A trifunctional monomer, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, was used as a cross-linker. The imprinted particles exhibited considerable morphological differences compared to their nonimprinted counterparts as observed by scanning electron microscopy. The imprinting effect was confirmed by equilibrium rebinding studies. The photoresponsiveness of the polymer particles was visualized by fluorescence microscopy and further characterized by spectroscopy. The template binding behavior could be regulated by alternating UV and visible light illumination when analyte release and uptake was observed, respectively. Binding isotherms fitted by the Freundlich model revealed the photomodulation of the number of binding sites and their average affinity. This facile synthetic approach may give an attractive starting point to endow currently existing highly selective MIPs with photoswitchable properties, thereby extending the scope of spiropyran-based photoresponsive smart materials.

Monolithic Spiropyran-Based Porous Polysilsesquioxanes with Stimulus-Responsive Properties.

Project description:Dynamic materials comprising spiropyrans have emerged as one of the most interesting and promising class of stimulus-responsive materials. Spiropyrans are often embedded in polymer matrices; their covalent attachment into porous monolithic silsesquioxane frameworks, however, is virtually unexplored. We demonstrate that a silylated spiropyran derivative can be covalently incorporated into ultralight silsesquioxane-based bulk materials by a two-step co-condensation sol-gel approach without restricting its conformational freedom and thus its stimulus-responsive properties. UV-vis measurements prove the conversion of the colorless closed-ring form of the spiropyran molecule into its highly colored purple isomer or the yellow colored protonated structure thereof. The transformation can be triggered simply by irradiation of the spiropyran-containing silsesquioxane monolith with UV or visible light or by the pH value of the chemical environment. A strong dependence of the surface polarity and water wettability on the prevalent isomer was observed. The contact angle of a water droplet on the monolithic surface can be altered from 146 to 100° by irradiation of the monolith with UV light for 3 min. Additionally, the prepared materials possess high specific surface areas, low bulk densities, and porosities of up to 84%.

Synthesis of a Bisbenzylideneacetone-Containing Benzoxazine and Its Photo- and Thermally Cured Thermoset.

Project description:A bis(4-hydroxybenzylidene)acetone/aniline-based benzoxazine (BHBA-a) was prepared from a bisbenzylidene-containing bisphenol, bis(4-hydroxybenzylidene)acetone (BHBA), aniline, and paraformaldehyde through Mannich condensation in a cosolvent of toluene/ethanol (2:1, v/v). The structure of BHBA-a was successfully confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and 1H and 13C NMR spectra. According to the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermogram of BHBA, an immediate exothermic peak after the melting peak was observed, suggesting that BHBA is thermally active. NMR data of thermally treated BHBA confirm that the immediate exothermic peak after melting of BHBA in the DSC thermogram is resulted from the curing of a double bond. UV and 1H NMR spectra of BHBA-a show that the bisbenzylideneacetone moiety underwent dimerization through the [2π + 2π] cycloaddition. Therefore, two procedures were applied to cure BHBA-a. The first one was thermal curing of the double bond of bisbenzylideneacetone and oxazine moieties. The second one was photocuring of the bisbenzylideneacetone moiety, followed by thermal curing of the oxazine moiety. The thermal properties of thermosets were evaluated based on these two procedures. Thermosets of BHBA-a exhibit T g as high as 318 °C for curing procedure 1 and 342 °C for curing procedure 2. These values are much higher than that of a traditional bisphenol/aniline-based benzoxazine thermoset. We conclude that the thermal curing of the double bond of bisbenzylideneacetone and photodimerization of bisbenzylideneacetone contributes to the good thermal properties.
