Molecular switches and machines that are powered by acid-base reactions susceptible to low switching cycles because of the concomitant formation waste products during their operation. Here, we demonstrate fast, efficient, reversible modulation a hydrazone switch in methanol using visible-light activated photoacid, with no generation side products, high conversion rates (>95%), loss activity over 100 cycles. TEG functionalization allows for process be carried (>90%) water as well.
Regulating signal amplification using a switchable catalytic cycle.
Crystal structures of η5-coordinated polymers cyclopentadienyl lithium (CpLi) derivatives are rare. Herein we describe the solid-state characterization base-free supersandwich benzyl ([BnCp–Li]∞). The self-assembled polymer has shortest mean Li–Cp (2.286 Å) and Li–Cpcentroid (1.948 bond distances known mono-substituted CpLi compounds.
Abstract Heteroaryl azobenzene molecular switches often have superior performance compared to their parent derivatives. Herein, we report the efficient photoswitching of phenylazopyridine 5‐methoxy‐2‐(2‐phenyldiazenyl)pyridine using 1 H NMR and UV/vis spectroscopy demonstrating >92 % Z at photostationary state a thermal half‐life 6.3 days room temperature. Kinetic studies are in good agreement with DFT predicted isomerization barrier.
