Light‐Switchable Azobenzene‐Containing Macromolecules: From UV to Near Infrared

Weis, Philipp, Wu, Si·2018·Macromolecular Rapid Communications

Abstract

Azobenzene‐containing macromolecules (azo‐macromolecules) such as azobenzene‐containing polymers (azopolymers) and azobenzene‐functionalized biomacromolecules are photoswitchable macromolecules. Trans‐to‐cis photoisomerization in conventional azo‐macromolecules is induced by ultraviolet (UV) light. However, UV light cannot penetrate deeply into issue and has a very small fraction in sunlight. Therefore, conventional azo‐macromolecules are problematic for biomedical and solar‐energy‐related applications. In this Feature Article, the strategies for constructing visible and near‐infrared (NIR) light‐responsive azo‐macromolecules are reviewed, and the potential applications of visible‐ and NIR‐light‐responsive azo‐macromolecules in biomedicine and solar energy conversion are highlighted. The remaining challenges in the field of photoswitchable azo‐macromolecules are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
