Is it possible to maintain photomechanical properties of crystalline diarylethenes after thermal amorphization?

The photomechanical properties of the photochromic 1,2-bis(2,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene (DTE) crystals, largely documented since the discovery by Irie et al. of its reversible photoswitching of crystallographic plane…

Fur glowing under UV: a widespread consequence of porphyrin accumulation in mammals

Abstract Spectacular photoluminescence (PL) phenomena have been increasingly reported in various organisms from diverse ecosystems. However, the chemical basis of this PL remains poorly defined, and its potential ecological function is still blurry,…

Disentangling the chemistry of Australian plant exudates from a unique historical collection

For thousands of years, the unique physicochemical properties of plant exudates have defined uses in material culture and practical applications. Native Australian plant exudates, including resins, kinos, and gums, have been used and continue to be…

X-ray irradiation effects on Egyptian blue and green pigments

Egyptian blue and green are among the oldest synthetic pigments produced by humanity. The two pigments are complex multi-phase copper-based systems synthesised with different protocols from the same raw materials. Since the 2000s, synchrotron X-ray…

Coating gold nanorods with silica prevents the generation of reactive oxygen species under laser light irradiation for safe biomedical applications

Gold nanoparticles can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) under the action of ultrashort pulsed light. While beneficial for photodynamic therapy, this phenomenon is prohibitive for other biomedical applications such as imaging, photo-thermal drug…

Is it possible to ”simply” predict the photoejection of a cation? Example of azacrown-substituted [(bpy)Re(CO) 3 L] + complexes

In the context of designing efficient photocontrolled ion-release systems, we propose a ”simple” computational strategy able to predict the cation photoejection. Our strategy is based on TD-DFT calculations and the analysis of the charge transfer …
