- formation of phenoxyhydroxyketone 4 proceeds via 1,3-dioxolan-2-one 6 generated from bromopropargylic alcohol 1 and Cs2CO3. Then, Br-substitution/hydration of 6 and the release of CO2 give product 4 (Scheme 7). Apparently, diphenoxyketone 5 results from decarboxylative conversion of 1,3-dioxolan-2-one 7

- formation of protonated amines which evolve spontaneously over time back again to the neutral amine upon release of CO2 from the initial acid. Among the potential acids available for such processes, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) has been used to fuel different supramolecular switches [6][7][8][9][10]. This
- equilibrium supramolecular machinery through a temporary protonation returning to the initial state upon time [3][4][5]. While conceptually interesting, in terms of laboratory practicability, it would be desirable to have a faster release of the free amine. For this purpose, a small amount of volatile base

- ), as functional groups on the polymer chains can have weak acidic characteristics if they release protons, or weak basic characteristics if they accept protons, in response to changes in pH. This can come about from even small variations in solution pH, depending on the degree of ionisation and pKa
- great range of pH changes are faced when a foreign material travels through the human system. For example, for an orally administered drug-delivery device to release therapeutic agents in the colon, it must withstand a range of conditions as it passes through the body, including pH 6.2–7.3 in the mouth
- . Furthermore, a response to pH can be utilised to release the therapeutic agent at a site of specific acidity, thus ensuring targeted delivery. Poly(acrylic acid)-based cryogels have been investigated as a pH oscillator in oscillatory bromate-sulphite-ferrocyanide reactions as potential soft materials for

This allows an exothermic reaction in different systems based on the reactivity but also due to the heater behavior of the NIR dye, i.e., a high light-to-heat (photothermal) conversion

- based on the operating transition states [37][38]. A cyclic transition state is proposed in the reaction with sodium borohydride. In this transition state, the oxygen of the sulfinyl group interacts with the boron atom, facilitating the release of the hydride, directing the attack to the Si-face of the
