During the past few decades, interest has been rapidly growing in gaining insight into the
properties and transformations of the so-called bistable compounds and molecular systems …

Spectroscopic probes have been extensively investigated and used widely in many fields
because of their powerful ability to improve analytical sensitivity, and to offer greater …

A highly selective copper (II) ion fluorescent sensor has been designed based on the UV−
visible absorption of a spiropyran derivative coupled with the use of a metal porphyrin …

Despite considerable efforts toward the development of various sophisticated spiropyrans
for metal ion sensing, less attention has been paid to organic molecule sensing. One of the …

Photoresponsive ruthenium (Ru) complexes have been extensively studied in the
photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. The metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) …

In this article, we described a method for the formation of photochromic polymer brushes
grafted from oxide surfaces using surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization …

The concept of wireless sensor networks conjures up images of a world of ubiquitous
sensing, but it requires a massive increase in the number of sensors available. Although …

Selected metal complexes behaving as photochemical switches, mostly operating by light
emission/absorption without the intervention of any added chemical species, are reviewed …

In recent decades, numerous spiropyran derivatives have been designed and utilized for
optical sensing of metal ions. However, there is still less research on spiropyran-based …

In the present paper, a new spirobenzopyran derivative was synthesized and applied in
simultaneously colorimetric and fluorescence ratiometric detections of Cu2+. In contrast to …
