Wavelength-Orthogonal Stiffening of Hydrogel Networks with Visible Light.


ABSTRACT: Herein, we introduce the wavelength-orthogonal crosslinking of hydrogel networks using two red-shifted chromophores, i.e. acrylpyerene (AP, λactivation =410-490 nm) and styrylpyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine (SPP, λactivation =400-550 nm), able to undergo [2+2] photocycloaddition in the visible-light regime. The photoreactivity of the SPP moiety is pH-dependent, whereby an acidic environment inhibits the cycloaddition. By employing a spiropyran-based photoacid generator with suitable absorption wavelength, we are able to restrict the activation wavelength of the SPP moiety to the green light region (λactivation =520-550 nm), enabling wavelength-orthogonal activation of the AP group. Our wavelength-orthogonal photochemical system was successfully applied in the design of hydrogels whose stiffness can be tuned independently by either green or blue light.
