Summary: Confinement-imposed photophysics was investigated for hydrazone-based compounds with novel stimuli-responsiveness, showing a conceptual difference in behavior between 2D and 3D porous matrices. The challenges of photoswitch isomerization in 2D scaffolds could be overcome in 3D materials by immobilizing the sterically demanding hydrazone derivatives. This approach enables the synthesis of hydrazone-based materials with fast photoisomerization kinetics in the solid state.

Summary: Light-involved catalysis, especially photocatalysis and photothermal catalysis, is a promising alternative to traditional thermocatalysis. Highly efficient photocatalysts are crucial for the development of light-mediated catalysis. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline molecular solids with designable structures, light-harvesting, and semiconducting properties. The recent development of COFs has brought opportunities for visible-light induced organic transformations. This review comprehensively summarizes and discusses the applications of COFs in selective light-initiated organic transformations, provides an overview of COF-based photocatalysts, and discusses the limitations, challenges, and future perspectives of COF photocatalysis and photothermal catalysis.

Summary: Inspired by natural intrinsically disordered proteins, DNA aptamers can be engineered to exhibit strong homotropic allosteric ligand binding. This unique feature has great potential in applications such as biosensing, imaging, and drug delivery. However, the use of intrinsic disorder mechanism leads to significantly reduced overall binding affinity. To address this issue, we propose the design of multivalent supramolecular aptamers. Our study shows that functional DNA superstructures (3D DNA) composed of tandem repeating DNA aptamers can achieve highly cooperative binding without sacrificing the binding affinities of the parent aptamers. We also developed a responsive sensor for fluorescence imaging of glutamate-stimulated ATP release in neurons and force stimulus-triggered ATP release in astrocytes.

Summary: Removing CO2 from crude syngas using a thermoresponsive metal-organic framework (1 a-apz) made of Mg-2(dobdc) (1 a) and aminopyrazine (apz) can achieve ultra-high CO2 capacity and ultra-pure CO at practical ambient temperatures. The excellent separation performance is attributed to self-adaption of apz, multiple binding sites, and complementary electrostatic potential in 1 a-apz. Breakthrough tests showed that 1 a-apz can remove CO2 from CO2/CO mixtures and crude syngas with high purity.

Summary: The sluggish kinetics of sulfur reactions on the cathode and the inadequate lithium deposition/stripping reversibility on the anode are successfully mitigated by using a single cathode modifier, In2Se3, which catalyses the polysulfide reactions on the cathode and improves lithium deposition/removal reversibility on the anode through the formation of a LiInS2/LiInSe2 containing solid electrolyte interface. This single modification approach shows excellent performance in Li-metal anode-free Li-S batteries, achieving 60% capacity retention and an average Coulombic efficiency of 98.27% after 160 cycles.

Summary: In this study, it was shown that the fermentation product of Armillaria luteo-virens with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus has a protective effect on human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) irradiated by UVA. The fermentation process increased the content of polysaccharides in the product while reducing their molecular weight. Furthermore, pretreating cells with the fermentation product enhanced antioxidant capacity, weakened UVA-induced MAPK pathway activity, inhibited TIMPs secretion, increased COL-I content, and ultimately reduced oxidative stress and prevented photoaging.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
