Structural insight into piezo-solvatochromism of Reichardt's dye
We have employed the preference of compounds to crystallize at high-pressure in the form of solvates to explore the solvation process and piezo-solvatochromic effects of Reichardt's dye, ET(1). Its solute-solvent interactions affect the dye's optical properties in various solvents studied by X-ray diffraction and UV-vis spectroscopy, reveal applications in nonlinear optoelectronics and molecular pressure sensor development.

Photoinduced bidirectional mesophase transition in vesicles containing azobenzene amphiphiles
In this work, a reversible non-invasive light-induced mesophase transition from lamellar to cubic Pn3m is observed in mixed azobenzene-lipid and phospholipid vesicles using small-angle X-ray scattering.

Chromic soft crystals based on luminescent platinum(II) complexes
Platinum(II) complexes exhibit intense luminescence based on their molecular arrangement and chromic luminescence, which is a color change in response to gentle stimuli such as vapor exposure or weak mechanical forces. Both the molecular and the crystal designs for soft crystals are critical to effectively control the chromic phenomenon of platinum(II) complexes.
