Novel salicylic acid derivatives connecting to five-membered cycle through an acyl hydrazone bond as multi-stimuli responsive fluorescent smart materials with photoswitching properties

Phenolylazoindole scaffold for facilely synthesized and bis-functional photoswitches combining controllable fluorescence and antifungal properties using theoretical methods

“…Functionalization of PSMs can not only introduce pharmacophores or fluorescent molecules into them, but also apply PSMs to molecular devices. 10–12 Therefore, it is of significance to design and synthesize novel azo photoswitches with excellent photoswitching properties, while facilely bis-functionalizing them.…”
