Article Abstract
Compounds with multiple photoswitching units are appealing for complex photochemical control of molecular materials and nanostructures. Herein, we synthesized novel meta- and para- connected (related to the nitrogen of the indoline) azobenzene-spiropyran dyads, in which the central benzene unit is shared by both switches. We investigated their photochemistry using static and time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy as well as quantum chemical calculations. In the meta-compound, the individual components are photochemically decoupled due to the meta-pattern. In the para-compound the spiro-connectivity leads to a bifunctional photoswitchable system with a red-shifted absorption. The azobenzene and the spiropyran can thus be addressed and switched independently by light of appropriate wavelength. Through the different connectivity patterns two different orthogonally photoswitchable systems have been obtained which are promising candidates for complex applications of light control.

The development of low-cost, high-performance materials with enhanced transparency in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) region (800-1250 cm/8-12.5 μm) is essential for advancing thermal imaging and sensing technologies. Traditional LWIR optics rely on costly inorganic materials, limiting their broader deployment.

Photoremovable protecting groups (PRPGs) enable precise spatiotemporal control over molecular release and functional activation. Recent advances have introduced wavelength-selective systems for sequential deprotection, broadening applications in drug delivery, material synthesis, and photopolymerization. In parallel, PRPGs play a crucial role in photobase generators (PBGs) and photoacid generators (PAGs), enabling oxygen-tolerant, spatially controlled polymerization and depolymerization through light-induced base and acid release.

Conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs), especially poly(-phenylene ethynylene) nanoparticles (PPE-NPs), are promising candidates for bio-imaging due to their high photostability, adjustable optical characteristics, and biocompatibility. Despite their potential, the fluorescence mechanisms of these nanoparticles are not yet fully understood. In this work, we modeled a spherical PPE-NP in a water environment using 30 PPE dimer chains.

Introduction: Current commercial cerebral oximeters only monitor the frontal lobes, however, some cerebrovascular territories may experience ischemia while others remain well perfused. This pilot study used a novel, high-density, dual-wavelength, time-resolved functional cerebral oximeter (Kernel Flow) with 2000 channels to assess the regional differences of cerebral oxygenation (StO2) in response to hypotension across different vascular territories during shoulder surgery in the beach chair position.
Methods: Twenty-seven adult patients were monitored, recording blood pressure, heart rate, regional cerebral oxygen saturation, and other vital parameters.
