Published in 2022 at "ACS Omega"

DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c04969

Abstract: Due to ever-increasing insights into their fundamental properties and photochromic behaviors, spiropyran derivatives are still a target of interest for researchers. The interswitching ability of this photochrome between the spiropyran (SP) and merocyanine (MC) isoforms… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Journal of the American Chemical Society"

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c03865

Abstract: We report the discovery of a 2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran mechanophore that produces a permanent merocyanine dye upon mechanochemical activation, in contrast to the reversible product generated photochemically. Experiments suggest that the irreversibility of the mechanically generated merocyanine… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Chemical communications"

DOI: 10.1039/d2cc00805j

Abstract: The application of merocyanine photoacids has previously been largely limited to neutral and acidic pH values. Here we introduce a new merocyanine photoacid with superior pH switching qualities. By increasing the pKa in the dark… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"

DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911535

Abstract: This joint experimental-theoretical work focuses on molecular and photophysical properties of the spiropyran-containing amphiphilic molecule in organic and aqueous solutions. Being dissolved in tested organic solvents, the system demonstrates positive photochromism, i.e., upon UV stimulus… read more here.
