Photovermellogens: Minimalistic Pyridinium-Based Acylhydrazones with Photoswitchable Basicity for Operation in Aqueous Media
Key Points
The aim is to explore the properties of photovermellogens and their potential for light-induced pH modulation in aqueous environments.
Synthesis of pyridinium-based acylhydrazones
Assessment of photoswitchable basicity
Analysis of pH control effectiveness
Photovermellogens show basicity values greater than 1.5 within biologically relevant conditions
Demonstrated effectiveness in pH modulation when triggered by light
Abstract
values > 1.5 within the biologically relevant window underscore the potential of photovermellogens as versatile platforms for light-triggered pH control.
