Overview

Dynamic soft-confinement strategy enables programmable photoisomerization in solid-state materials, suggesting new applications.

Key Points

  • The aim is to achieve programmable photoisomerization of azobenzenes in the solid-state using bubble-assisted assembly.
  • Introduced bubble-assisted dynamic confinement to manipulate molecular aggregation via tunable surface energy.
  • Controlled morphologies of microfluidic channels to create distinct self-assembled aggregates.
  • Utilized multi-scale characterization and computational analyses to study confined aggregation kinetics.
  • Achieved near-quantitative bidirectional E⇆Z photoisomerization (96%-98%) in solid-state.
  • Developed corded scaffold structures allowing favorable light penetration and favorable intermolecular interactions.
  • Demonstrated programmable photoresponsive arrays for potential photomechanical applications.
