1. Masa-aki Morikawa, Miko Mizuno, Naoyuki Harada, Nobuo Kimizuka, On-demand Triplet-sensitized Photoswitching of Arylazopyrazoles, Chemistry Letters, 52, 9, 727-731, 2023.07, Triplet-sensitized Z-to-E photoisomerization of arylazopyrazole derivatives was achieved with red-light excitation of Pd(II) meso-tetraphenyltetrabenzoporphyrin (PdTPTBP) in deaerated DMSO solution. The triplet energy gap between the sensitizer and the arylazopyrazoles affects the apparent rate of Z-to-E photoisomerization. On-demand photoswitching of arylazopyrazoles proceeds facilely and reversibly with almost 100% efficiency despite the endothermic triplet energy transfer processes..
2. Masa-aki Morikawa, Yuta Yamanaka, Joseph K.-H. Hui, Nobuo Kimizuka, Photoliquefaction and phase transition of m-bisazobenzenes give molecular solar thermal fuels with a high energy density, RSC Advances, 13, 34, 24031-24037, 2023.08, A series of m-bisazobenzene chromophores modified with various alkoxy substituents (1; methoxy, 2; ethoxy, 3; butoxy, 4; neopentyloxy) were developed for solvent-free molecular solar thermal fuels (STFs). Compounds (E,E)-1-3 in the crystalline thin film state exhibited photoliquefaction, the first example of photo-liquefiable m-bisazobenzenes. Meanwhile, (E,E)-4 did not show photoliquefaction due to the pronounced rigidity of the interdigitated molecular packing indicated by X-ray crystallography. The m-bisazobenzenes 1-4 exhibited twice the Z-to-E isomerization enthalpy compared to monoazobenzene derivatives, and the latent heat associated with the liquid-solid phase change further enhanced their heat storage capacity. To observe both exothermic Z-to-E isomerization and crystallization in a single heat-up process, the temperature increase of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) must occur at a rate that does not deviate from thermodynamic equilibrium. Bisazobenzene 1 showed an unprecedented gravimetric heat storage capacity of 392 J g−1 that exceeds previous records for well-defined molecular STFs..

Sci., 13, 11904-11911, 2022.08, We report the first example of direct far-red triplet sensitized molecular photoswitching in a condensed phase wherein a liquid azobenzene derivative (Azo1) co-assembled within a liquid surfactant–protein film undergoes triplet sensitized Z-to-E photoswitching upon far-red/red light excitation in air. The role of triplet sensitization in photoswitching has been confirmed by quenching of sensitizer phosphorescence by Z-Azo1 and temperature-dependent photoswitching experiments. Herein, we demonstrate new biosustainable fabrication designs to address key challenges in solid-state photoswitching, effectively mitigating chromophore aggregation and requirement of high energy excitations by dispersing the photoswitch in the trapped liquid inside the solid framework and by shifting the action spectrum from blue-green light (450–560 nm) to the far-red/red light (740/640 nm) region..

Air-Water Interface and Switching of Second‐Harmonic Generation, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 10.1002/anie.202013650, 60, 6333-6338, 2021.02, Trans-p-methoxy arylazopyrazole spontaneously forms non-centrosymmetric polar crystals, which reversibly undergo liquefaction upon photoisomerization to the cis-isomer. This liquid cis-isomer has a large electric dipole moment and is highly soluble in water (solubility up to approximate to 58 mM), which is remarkably higher than that of the trans-isomer (690 uM). Vis-light illumination of the aqueous cis-isomer generates macroscopically oriented, non-centrosymmetric crystals at the air-water interface. Polar crystals are also formed in sandwich glass cells (spacing, 20um) upon photo-induced crystallization of the liquid cis-isomer. The trans-crystals thus formed showed second harmonic generation (SHG) whose intensity is switched on/off in response to the photo-induced phase transition..

Hui, Nobuo Kimizuka , A Liquid Arylazopyrazole Derivative as Molecular Solar Thermal Fuel with Long-term Thermal Stability, Chem. Lett., org/10.1246/cl.200171, 2020.05, A liquid arylazopyrazole derivative is newly synthesized as molecular solar thermal fuel. It shows efficient trans-​to-​cis photoisomerization in the neat liquid state, with the cis-​isomer having a significantly longer thermal half-​life (t1​/2 = 3,​069 h, at 25°C)​. It overcomes the limited thermal stability of the corresponding liquid cis-​azobenzene derivative (t1​/2 = 16 h) and marked a gravimetric energy density of 41 kJ·mol-​1, which meets the requirement for thermophysical heat storage applications..

13. Zhihang Wang, Raul Losantos, Diego Sampedro, Masa-aki Morikawa, Karl Boerjesson, Nobuo Kimizuka, Kasper Moth-Poulsen, Demonstration of an azobenzene derivative based solar thermal energy storage system, Journal of Materials Chemistry A: Materials for Energy and Sustainability, 7(25), 15042-15047, 2019.06, Molecules capable of reversible storage of solar energy have recently attracted increasing interest, and are often referred to as molecular solar thermal energy storage (MOST) systems. Azobenzene derivatives have great potential as an active MOST candidate. However, an operating lab scale experiment including solar energy capture/storage and release has still not been demonstrated. In the present work, a liquid azobenzene derivative is tested comprehensively for this purpose. The system features several attractive properties, such as a long energy storage half-life (40 h) at room temperature, as well as an excellent robustness demonstrated by optically charging and discharging the molecule over 203 cycles without any sign of degradation (total operation time of 23 h). Successful measurements of solar energy storage under simulated sunlight in a microfluidic chip device have been achieved. The identification of two heterogeneous catalyst systems during testing enabled the construction of a fixed bed flow reactor demonstrating catalyzed back-conversion from cis to trans azobenzene at room temperature under flow conditions. The working mechanism of the more suitable catalytic candidate was rationalized by detailed density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Thus, this work provides detailed insights into the azobenzene based MOST candidate and identifies where the system has to be improved for future solar energy storage applications..

Kang, Tejwant Singh, Masa-aki Morikawa, Nobuo Kimizuka, Liquid crystalline microspheres of azobenzene amphiphiles formed by thermally induced pH changes in binary water-​hydrolytic ionic liquid media, Chemical Communications, 55(38), 5459-5462, 2019.04, Anionic azobenzene-containing bilayered membranes dispersed in binary water–ionic liquid (IL) media undergo proton-responsive transformation into liquid crystalline microspheres (LCMs). This transformation was induced by protons released by the heat induced hydrolysis of tetrafluoroborate ions in the ILs. This work demonstrates the first beneficial use of hydrolysis-susceptible ILs in chemistry..

Tuning the Visible/Near-Infrared Optical Properties by a Combination of Porphyrin and Its Isomer Units, Inorganic Chemistry, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.9b00251, 58, 7, 4647-4656, 2019.04, Hybrid metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with core/shell-like hierarchical structure comprised of zirconium metal and porphyrin (e.g., TPP) and its isomer, N-confused porphyrin (NCP), were synthesized through a seed-mediated reaction. The hierarchical structures of hybrid MOFs were characterized by the microscopic image analyses (e.g., scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry, and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM)). Taking advantage of the intrinsic light-harvesting properties of the porphyrin dye and the N-confused isomer, changing the core/shell layer structures of hybrid MOFs allows for tuning of the visible-to-near-infrared (NIR) absorption/emission characters, excited-state energy migrations, and photosensitization capabilities. The Förster energy transfer event occurring in the bulk MOF samples by photoexcitation enabled us to control the photoinduced singlet oxygen generation through the comprehensive light-harvesting ability of these hybrid porphyrinic MOFs. Therefore, implementation of a precisely designed porphyrin "substitute" into the MOF-based materials indeed provides a new mimic of the photosynthetic pigment system and should be potentially applicable for solar-light-driven devices..

Pankaj Bharmoria, Shota Hisamitsu, Hisanori Nagatomi, Taku Ogawa, Masa-Aki Morikawa, Nobuhiro Yanai, Nobuo Kimizuka, Simple and Versatile Platform for Air-Tolerant Photon Upconverting Hydrogels by Biopolymer-Surfactant-Chromophore Co-assembly, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 10.1021/jacs.8b05821, 140, 34, 10848-10855, 2018.08, Exploration of triplet-triplet annihilation based photon upconversion (TTA-UC) in aqueous environments faces difficulty such as chromophores insolubility and deactivation of excited triplets by dissolved oxygen molecules. We propose a new strategy of biopolymer-surfactant-chromophore coassembly to overcome these issues. Air-stable TTA-UC with a high upconversion efficiency of 13.5% was achieved in hydrogel coassembled from gelatin, Triton X-100 and upconverting chromophores (triplet sensitizer and emitter). This is comparable to the highest UC efficiency observed to date for air-saturated aqueous UC systems. Moreover, this is the first example of air-stable TTA-UC in the form of hydrogels, widening the applicability of TTA-UC in biological applications. The keys are two-fold. First, gelatin and the surfactant self-assemble in water to give a developed hierarchical structure with hydrophobic domains which accommodate chromophores up to high concentrations. Second, thick hydrogen-bonding networks of gelatin backbone prevent O2 inflow to the hydrophobic interior, as evidenced by long acceptor triplet lifetime of 4.9 ms. Air-stable TTA-UC was also achieved for gelatin with other nonionic surfactants (Tween 80 and Pluronic f127) and Triton X-100 with other gelling biopolymers (sodium alginate and agarose), demonstrating the versatility of current strategy..
