These amazing systems have inspired synthetic chemists to create artificial molecular machines that can control nanoscale structural motion with a precision on a par with their biological counterparts.9–11 When in solution, these compounds can carry out microscopic mechanical tasks such as to control the stereochemical outcome of a catalytic reacti...
Guest uptake, release and cargo delivery systems
Heinke, Wöll and co-workers developed a responsive surface coating capable of storage and on-demand release of cargo based on azobenzene functionalized SURMOF.130 The two-component system was constructed on the surface by liquid-phase epitaxy with first non-responsive layers serving as a storage tank and terminating layers, functionalized with photoresponsive azobenzenes serving as an addressable valve (Fig. 19a). The resulting surface-mounted architecture, showed a four times slower uptake o...

Klajn and co-workers utilized the versatility of spiropyran switches for the construction of multi-purpose porous aromatic frameworks.71 Materials were based on pore-forming tetrahedral tetraphenylsilane and monotopic or ditopic spiropyrans, which were connected via Suzuki cross-coupling to form amorphous, three-dimensional porous polymers (Fig. 26a). Incorporation of the monotopic spiropyran derivative in the aromatic framework, preserved its characteristic photochromism and led to an except...
Local heating
Despite the significant challenges in this field, a careful and systematic approach to the design and characterization of light-responsive porous materials will stimulate further developments of these fascinating materials. The ground-breaking studies that have been conducted thus far were focused on understanding of the fundamental aspects of the stimuli-responsive behaviour in the confined environment and its implications on material properties. In the future, development of the frameworks...

In his current PhD project, under the supervision of prof. Grzegorz Litwinienko and dr inż. Wojciech Danowski, he is focusing on wavelength-orthogonal systems based on amphiphilic block copolymers for membranes construction. Google Scholar ORCID. Room: 132-1. p.cieciorski@uw.edu.pl
Abstract. Overcrowded alkene-based light-driven molecular motors are able to perform large-amplitude repetitive unidirectional rotations. Their behaviour is well understood in solution. However, Brownian motion precludes the precise positioning at the nanoscale needed to harness cooperative action.
