• Development of green/red-absorbing chromophores based on a coumarin scaffold that are useful as caging groups 

      Nonell, Santi; Gandioso, Albert; Contreras, Sara; Melnyk, Ivanna; Oliva, Javier; Velasco Castrillo, Dolores; Garcia Amorós, Jaume; Marchán Sancho, Vicente (Journal of Organic Chemistry. Vol.82, n.10 (2017), p.5398-5408, 2017-05)
      We report the design, synthesis, and spectroscopic characterization of a series of push–pull chromophores based on a novel coumarin scaffold in which the carbonyl of the lactone function of the original ...
    • Optical writing and reading with a photoactivatable carbazole 

      Nonell, Santi; Garcia Amorós, Jaume; Swaminathan, Subramani; Zhang, Yang; Raymo, Françisco M. (Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Vol.17, n.17 (2015), p.11140-11143, 2015-03)
      The fluorescence of a carbazole chromophore can be activated irreversibly under optical control with the photoinduced opening of an oxazine ring. In proximity to silver nanoparticles, the quantum ...
