Article Abstract
Traditional soft robots, while praised for their flexibility and biocompatibility, often face challenges with complex motion and adaptability. In this work, a visible light-driven liquid crystalline network (LCN) film with a multistage photo-responsive behavior is judiciously designed and prepared. By integrating donor-acceptor stenhouse adducts (DASAs) into LCN matrix, it is found that the DASA exhibits polymerization temperature-dependent isomerization, indicating an opportunity to fabricate complex photo-driven soft actuators and devices by simply adjusting the polymerization conditions. By carefully controlling the polymerization temperature of LC/DASA precursor, the photo-induced color change as well as the photothermal effect of LCN film can be finely controlled with spatial precision so that the prepared DASA-LCN film presents multistage color changes and shape morphing under a constant visible light field. Finally, a soft actuator with time-resolved light-responsive deformations is achieved. This advancement demonstrates a straightforward method to prepare self-adaptive light-driven LCN devices without tedious synthesis, paving the way for soft robots that are not only reconfigurable but also inherently adaptive.

Selective oxidation of benzylic C(sp)-H bonds to ketones is critical to the production of fine chemicals but typically requires toxic/precious metal catalysts under harsh conditions. While iron-based complexes have recently served as catalysts for photocatalytic C-H bond activation, most systems operate via homogeneous catalysis. Developing a light-driven strategy under visible light with O as an oxidant is of major importance.

The direct introduction of a bromine atom into organic molecules is valuable because of its versatility in synthetic intermediates and modular building blocks but traditionally suffers from poor selectivity and relatively complicated and/or harsh reaction conditions. We herein present the first visible-light-driven organic-dye-catalyzed bromination protocol under mild conditions with high regioselectivity. This methodology leverages rapid intramolecular radical trapping to achieve regioselective monobromination of alkenes, thus effectively suppressing competing dibromination and electrophilic bromination pathways.

Development of novel photocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide (HO) production from water and oxygen is gathering great attention, but still suffers from inefficient photogenerated charge mobility. Reticular chemistry in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provides a promising platform to enhance the charge-transfer kinetics by assembling a donor-acceptor (D-A) system. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of D-A type MOFs (UiO-67-NB, UiO-67-PE/BB, and UiO-67-PE/NB) via regulating the interaction mode of donor and acceptor.
