Nitric oxide (NO) is a versatile endogenous molecule, involved in various physiological processes and implicated in the progression of many pathological conditions. Therefore, NO donors are valuable tools in NO related basic and applied applications. The traditional spontaneous NO donors are limited in scenarios where flux, localization, and dose of NO could be monitored. This has promoted the development of novel NO donors, whose NO release is not only under control, but also self-calibrated. Herein, we reported a phototriggered and photocalibrated NO donor (NOD565) with an N-nitroso group on a rhodamine dye. NOD565 is nonfluorescent and could release NO efficiently upon irradiation by green light. A bright rhodamine dye is generated as a side-product and its fluorescence can be used to monitor the NO release. The potentials of NOD565 in practical applications are showcased in in vitro studies, e.g., platelet aggregation inhibition and fungi growth suppression.

Summary This paper studies the event‐triggered H∞ control for synchronization of networked switched master‐slave systems under external disturbance, stochastic attacks, and quantization. With the proposed event‐triggering schemes, the communication frequency and data packets can be effectively regulated and reduced. To reduce further the burden of network transmission, the quantized control is applied. Moreover, the network transmission delay and the stochastic cyberattacks are concerned. In addition, the synchronization problem between switched master systems and switched slave systems is transformed into a stability problem of switched error systems. By adopting multiple Lyapunov functions and average dwell time method, sufficient conditions are constructed to assure the mean‐square exponential stability with H∞ performance of the switched error systems. Meanwhile, the stagger between data switching instants and triggering instants is discussed in the system in detail. Accordingly, the controller gains and event‐triggering parameters are obtained utilizing a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical simulation and a practical example are illustrated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented method.
