Azobenzenes (Ph-N═N-Ph) are known as the most widely studied molecular photoswitches, and recent rise of azoheteroarenes (Het-N═N-Ph or Het-N═N-Het) offers great opportunities to advance this already mature field. A common limitation is that azo-switches generally require harmful UV light for activation, which hinders their application across various fields. Despite efforts in developing visible-light azobenzenes over past few decades, potential heteroaryl azoswitches remains largely unexplored. This Perspective summarizes state-of-the-art advancements azoswitches, covering design strategies, structure-property relationship, applications. We highlight distinctive advantages research development switches. Furthermore, we discuss challenges emerging field propose solutions address crucial issues such spectral red-shift thermal half-life. Through paper, aim provide inspiration further exploration field, anticipation growing prosperity bright future azoheteroarene photoswitches.

Abstract Photochromic materials have drawn enormous attention for their potential applications in optical memory storage and photoswitchable molecular devices. Although great achievements photochromic been fulfilled, it is still a big challenge to realize gated photochromism ready tunable properties. In previous studies, rare examples of are reported. Herein, three triarylethylene derivatives FTrPE‐ o I, ClTrPE‐ I BrTrPE‐ with reversible thermally activated characteristics designed synthesized, whose crystalline powders show no until treatments relative temperature. Temperature acts as gate switch the properties by switching aggregation state from melted amorphous. With this progress, broader structural realm becomes accessible materials, which can now be synthetically tailored advanced future applications, e.g., research on machines switches, studies photoisomerization mechanisms, or generation thermal tracing materials. To showcase these distinct encrypted printing, trace monitoring well multi‐level anticounterfeiting demonstrated, addition comprehensive photochemical study all compounds.

Molecular photoswitch research has drawn much attention in the last century owing to its great potential development of smart materials. However, photoswitches suitable for constructing light-responsive luminescent materials remain limited, especially those involving triplet-state phosphorescence. Herein, we designed a novel molecular based on conformation transition phenothiazine derivatives, minimizing steric hindrance (-CH

The use of photoswitchable ligand to control the protein functionalities and related downstream effects in an on-off manner is active research area photopharmacology medicinal chemistry. Temporal grants a privilege identify crucial role particular receptor biological occurrences without destroying permanently. Additionally, light can be applied site-selectively regulate functionality with cellular sub-cellular levels spatial resolutions. spatiotemporal resolution enables probing specific receptor, isoform, or signalling pathway. This reversible fast highly beneficial studying dynamic processes, including but not limited signal transduction, neurotransmission, cell divisions, immune response, folding, degradation. Though several light-active ligands have been developed efficiently, only few reports on exist literature. Major challenges achieve efficient photoswitches study are synthesis strategy, photostability ligand, bidirectional visible switching ability most importantly precise controlling local concentration desired photoisomer using light. site-specific localization depends multiple factors like nature photoswitch, binding affinity both photoisomers, molecular diffusion irradiation conditions. present review discusses suitable techniques different achieving subcellular dimension functionality.
