Orange-Light-Induced Photochemistry Gated by pH and Confined Environments
(Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2022)We introduce a new photochemically active compound, i.e., pyridinepyrene (PyPy), entailing a pH-active moiety that effects a significant halochromic shift into orange-light (λ = 590 nm) activatable photoreactivity while ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
2D Fabrication of Tunable Responsive Interpenetrating Polymer Networks from a Single Photoresist
(Advanced Functional Materials, 2020)Light-induced curing of photoresists is a well-established technique to fabricate polymer networks with precise control over the material properties. Herein, control is exerted over network material properties of a single ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Regioisomerism in Symmetric Dimethyl Dialdehydes Dictates their Photochemical Reactivity
(The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2022)We herein report the first light-driven selective monoderivatization (desymmetrization) of two chemically equivalent carbonyl groups in a single chromophore. By comparing of four symmetric regioisomers, featuring two ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Accurate determination of nonlinear refraction in ZnO and Au composite nanostructures
(Optical Materials Express, 2020)It is now well established that the nonlinear optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles can be significantly enhanced by coupling them to metallic nanoparticles. While the nonlinear absorption properties are well reported, ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Wavelength-Gated Photochemical Synthesis of Phenalene Diimides
(Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2021)Herein, we pioneer a wavelength‐gated synthesis route to phenalene diimides. Consecutive Diels–Alder reactions of methylisophthalaldehydes and maleimides afford hexahydro‐phenalene‐1,6‐diol diimides via 5‐formyl‐hexahydr ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Sequence-independent activation of photocycloadditions using two colours of light
(Chemical Science, 2022)We exploit two reactive chromophores to establish sequence-independent photochemical activation, employing ortho-methyl benzaldehyde (oMBA) and N,N-(dimethylamino)pyrene aryl tetrazole (APAT) with N-(2-hydroxy)ethyl maleimide ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Near Infrared Light Induced Radical Polymerization in Water
(Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2022)We introduce a gold nanorod (AuNR) driven methodology to induce free radical polymerization in water with near infrared light (800 nm). The process exploits photothermal conversion in AuNR and subsequent heat transfer to ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Multiresponsive Dielectric Metasurfaces Based on Dual Light- and Temperature-Responsive Copolymers
(Advanced Optical Materials, 2023)Tunability is essential for unlocking a range of practical applications of high-efficiency metasurface-based nanophotonic devices and systems. Increased research efforts in this area during recent years led to significant ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Two-colour light activated covalent bond formation
(Nature Communications, 2022)We introduce a photochemical bond forming system, where two colours of light are required to trigger covalent bond formation. Specifically, we exploit a visible light cis/trans isomerization of chlorinated azobenzene, which ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Photochemical Action Plots Reveal the Fundamental Mismatch Between Absorptivity and Photochemical Reactivity
(Advanced Science, 2024)Over the last years, the authors' laboratory has employed monochromatic tuneable laser systems to reveal a fundamental mismatch between the absorptivity of a chromophore and its photochemical reactivity for the vast majority ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Accumulation, tissue distribution, health hazard of microplastics in a commercially important cat fish, Silonia silondia from a tropical large-scale estuary
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2024)The current knowledge regarding the presence of microplastics (MPs) in the digestive tracts of fish, particularly the non-edible parts, provides limited assistance in assessing the risk to human health and establishing ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Barriers to healthcare utilization among married women in Afghanistan: the role of asset ownership and women’s autonomy
(BMC Public Health, 2024)Women face multiple socio-economic, cultural, contextual, and perceived barriers in health service utilization. Moreover, poor autonomy and financial constraints act as crucial factors to their healthcare accessibility. ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The cryptocurrency conundrum: the emerging role of digital currencies in geopolitical conflicts
(Journal of Financial Crime, 2024)Purpose This paper aims to investigate technological innovations within the crypto space that have engendered novel financial crime risks and their potential utilization amidst geopolitical conflicts. Design/methodol ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
