Abstract
“Visible-light-responsive supramolecular assemblies”
Keywords: Self-assembly, photoswitch

Some of our recent work developing visible-light-responsive molecules and assemblies will be presented.

 

Using photoswitchable ligands and palladium(II) ions we self-assembled structures that can be manipulated using visible light to control their composition and recognition properties.[1,2]

 

We have also developed merocyanine photoswitches to generate the largest reversible bulk pH changes,[3] including from basic to acid conditions,[4] and used these to control self-assembly of DNA structures.[5]
